Snow White
Before I get told off let me say it quickly...I am a snow lover! Yes there was chaos, yes journeys disrupted etc etc but nothing can transform the dark and dirty streets of south London into a picturesque scene which could proudly stand on the cover of a Christmas card. I love everything from the delicate flakes to the blanket covering the road, I'm talking first thing in the morning before anyone has had a chance to marched across it.
I seem to be missing the snow, no doubt we'll get our usual February dosage soon, but in the mean time I've picked up a fetish for white/cream everything from clothing to ceramics. I've been totally mesmerised by Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen's 3D printed garments in collaboration with architect Daniel Widrig using .MGX file's technology. The garments are the next generation of clothing construction who would have thought we could 'print' constructed garments.
Although visually stunning, I don't see this form of garment construction spreading to the mainstream any time soon. Very GaGa-esque.
As you all know I'm all for modern technology but nothing beats handmade pieces like the ones below by a variety of my favourite British Ceramicists, many of you will recognise Janet Edmondson from several of the Handmade in Britain shows, she is currently one of the British ceramicists being showcased in the Handmade Interiors flagship store be sure to see her full range (10 Cheshire Street, London, E2 6EH).
I am also loving Kate Schuricht's incredible Raku vases, her collection is delicate and full of life. For those of you that don't know Raku is a low temperature ceramic firing process. Glazed pieces are rapidly fired outdoors in a gas kiln to approximately 1000 degrees centigrade, this gives each piece a unique finish that cannot be replicated.
