Uncovered and discovered – Kathy Waggoner

It seems an age since I last put any teapots on my blog.  It’s getting more and more difficult to find unusual ones that I like.  However, I have lately come across ceramicsist artist Kathy Waggoner and I find her work intriguing.  Her works explores identity, in myth, form and stereotypes.  Why do I like these – probablyContinue reading “Uncovered and discovered – Kathy Waggoner”

Weird and wacky design: In my cups

There are some very unusual cups around.  I especially like this one with coffee beans on.  I don’t know how practical it would be to drink out of, but it looks good to me.  Other strange cups HERE I think this meaty cup is thought provokingly weird!  (do I want my thought provoked like this?)Continue reading “Weird and wacky design: In my cups”

Teapots: Stairway to Teapot Heaven

Just a quick little post tonight.  I came across this stairway made of teapots!   Well, it’s not just teapots it’s made of, there are many chards of pottery and ceramics in the mix. Also by the same person, this  colourful ‘Woodland couple’.  I love the simplicity and the country inspired  glazes of this sort ofContinue reading “Teapots: Stairway to Teapot Heaven”
