Etsy seller and ceramicist Jason Russell got in touch with me recently to share this beautiful video where he talks about his inspiration and process. (You might remember that I featured one of his coffee mugs in "Today's Finds" a couple of weeks ago.) I love to watch artists and crafters work; it's a privilege when someone shares his or her passion with you and lets you glimpse "behind the curtain" so to speak.
I love that Jason talks about the hand-drawn line on his pieces as that's what initially drew me to his work when I found his shop on Etsy. I shared with him that it made me think of this quote by Margaret Kilgallen, and the reason I love handmade so much.
Check out Jason's Etsy shop, his tableware line, SYRK, and his artwork here.
I love watching other crafters at work too! This is so inspiring! Cute dog too :)
ReplyDeleteReally great feature here. I too love finding out about an artists purpose and process. Makes the artist/ art-lover relationship a little more intimate!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, so inspiring! We should all make videos like this of us practicing our crafts. It would be so cool to get to see things more hands-on like this.
