Jude Allman Stoneware Pottery

When it comes to kitchenwares I’m definitely drawn towards simple yet heavy duty pottery. These hand-thrown food-safe glazed jugs, bowls, and other homewares by Jude Allman all exhibit a modern rustic influence that could fit in nearly any household. I love the clean lines and simple aesthetic that each piece has about it.

Barruntando

The original, modern pottery of Spain’s Barruntando initially caught my eye with the colorful little bears above. What I found when I dug a little deeper only made me more excited. Little clay creatures with tons of personality, unique and functional household pieces, and combinations of the two.

Abigail Brown

Let’s celebrate the start of winter with animal masks, okay? I’m 100% head over heels for these sweet things by Abigail Brown. Both her creatures and birds perfectly capture the personality of each fabric and paper sculpture she crafts.

Heather Levine

Heather Levine creates many, many beautiful things from ceramics, but my favorite collection of her’s is the wall hangings. Half natural, half man-made, and slightly lethal looking with their sharp points – well, I just can’t stop staring.
