modern craft: To Dry For
http://moderncraft.blogspot.com/2009/09/to-dry-for.html
Making it in the modern world: production techniques and art appreciation. Friday, September 25. Features one product only: the humble tea towel. With clever graphics and well-known designers (Rob Ryan), they've got a good thing here- a simple piece of cloth with some pop. It's interesting that the tea towel has become a kind of indie canvas. I have other favorites too, like Third Drawer Down. That produce beautiful screen printed towels, most of which could be framed as art. Great stuff.

dialogue between art and everyday life, whilst promoting the work of International Artists and Designers. It was extremely interesting for me to read the blog. Thank you for it.

Making it in the modern world: production techniques and art appreciation. Wednesday, September 30. Is a Portland artist. She's inspired by the natural world and the sense of wonder it creates in viewers. Her work uses unusual materials to interpret the "exuberance of nature" and in doing so gives viewers an unexpected experience. Her pieces are interesting and beautiful and reverent to their subject. I especially love the squirrels. October 19, 2009. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Book by its cover.

modern craft: Jonathan Adler towels
http://moderncraft.blogspot.com/2009/10/jonathan-adler-towels.html
Making it in the modern world: production techniques and art appreciation. Thursday, October 8. These new geometric towels from Jonathan Adler. Tabletop collection are the right mix of vintage and bright modern design. I'm a big fan of his ceramics and it's interesting to see how that aesthetic expresses itself in other home goods. I think the red/yellow towel is the best- a mix of 30s deco and Sante Fe graphics. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sponsors / Ad rates / email. MODERN CRAFT: NOW A BOOK!

modern craft: Andrew Spence
http://moderncraft.blogspot.com/2009/10/andrew-spence.html
Making it in the modern world: production techniques and art appreciation. Thursday, October 15. E's work is austere- it is also slightly whimsical, if those two things can go together. His several decades of work utilizes simple forms and shapes and color. I don't know many artists who can explore the line in such depth and variation. His exploration of symbols and lines reminds me of another austere artists, Donald Judd, who worked for decades exploring and expanding the box form. October 15, 2009.
