Purple Crafts – Diem Chau

Delicate art!

I love how the Vietnamese artist Diem Chau explores different materials to create unique art pieces.

Using a minimal design, Diem creates illustrations with fabric and thread on different porcelain objects. The unusual mix of cotton, organza and silk with porcelain is surprisingly stunning.

Dublin Events – Etsy Craft Party

Fun!

Last Friday I went to my very first Etsy Craft Party, and it was amazing. I had the chance to see the awesome Etsy Dublin offices and to chat with several crafters and artists. I went there with my friend Adriana, aka Joystitch, and we really had a lot of fun.

We enjoyed fresh and yummy food, we explored the amazing building and we also had the chance to do some workshops. Below a little gallery about my “Etsy adventure”.

Enjoy!.

Experimental animation meets pottery

Wow!

Enjoy this “pottery in motion” experiment, where crafts and animation are perfectly mixed together. Video by Jim Le Fevre, Mike Paterson and Roops and Al Johnstone (RAMP ceramics), commissioned by the Crafts Council.

The film is based upon the principles of the Zoetrope – the difference being that instead of the slits that one would have in the drum around the side of the Zoetrope, it uses the shutter speed of the camera instead.
