French Garde Robe



For your sweet little monsters ... these cute (and very affordable) pieces from "French Garderobe by Fabienne Doutreleau" are made with - mostly - fabric discards, which is great for the environment (reuse-reduce-recycle anyone?) Above are a few of my favorites ...

Ursula Morley Price - Ceramics


Loving these mysterious and extraordinarily intricate pieces from Brighton based potter Ursula Morley Price. Her work could fool the viewer into thinking she is influenced by marine life ... not so! As she clearly states in her biography, it is the very movements she gives her pieces that give these organic shapes the feelings they ignite in the observer.

Victoria Morris Pottery




A few favorites from Los Angeles based potter Victoria Morris. Along with Julie Delmas, Warner Walcott and April Napier (see previous and future posts), all working out of Xiem Clay Studio in Pasadena, the simple aesthetic of these extraordinary potters have become some of my favorites (and inspirations for my own beginner work as well).

Petit a Petit Ceramics


I fell in love with these sweet "baby-teeth boxes" and "Piggy Banks" from Julie Delmas. What a great concept - if you have a child or as a gift - these little gems remind me of Beatrix Potter's world (how British, how lovely!).

Currently based in Los Angeles, Julie sells her pieces on her blog @ http://www.wix.com/petitapetit/ceramics
