Make It Harewood - come and throw with us!
We’re really excited to be taking part in Make It Harewood - a new series of Hole & Corner curated workshops at Harewood House as part of current exhibition ‘Useful/Beautiful: Why Craft Matters’.
We are going to be offering 30 minute throwing sessions on the Sunday 7th July - you can book your place here.
Instagram Q & A
After a choc-a-bloc month of production it feels like we haven’t properly engaged with real people, both in the world and online, so I invited your questions on instagram - ‘what do you want to know about our studio and work?’. These are your questions and these are our answers. I hope you enjoy reading this and find some use in our answers….
The Hepworth Wakefield Ceramics Fair
Now that our online shop has been and gone (phew - thanks so much to everyone who has bought something!) - it is now time to prepare for the Ceramics Fair at The Hepworth Wakefield next weekend which is open both Saturday and Sunday, 10-4.
Online Shop Opening - A Preview
These past two months have been dedicated to a whole lot of making, mainly for our next online shop, which opens at 7pm (UK time) next Wednesday 24th April.
Inspiration from Elbulli’s 23 Points
Over the weekend Matt and I spent some time doing ‘life-admin’ including decluttering old files and filing away newer documents. All a bit dull, but, the reason I even mention it on here is that we came across newspaper clippings, photocopies and other miscellaneous items which we’d filed away for safe keeping some years ago and completely forgotten about. On two folded sheets of A4 we came across ‘Elbulli’s philosophy’ - 23 points identified and written down in 2005 by, I imagine, Ferran Adrià (and team). I’m guessing Elbulli needs little introduction, but if so, see here.
Studio Scenes Photographed by George Baggaley
It was good on Thursday to have photographer, George Baggaley, visit the studio. George approached us a few months back to see if he could make a film to document our making process and since has visited a couple of times. It’s been great having him visit the studio and learn more about his work.
