Shelby Rodeffer

ShelbyRodefferReally like viewing artists’ sketchbooks like these pages from Shelby Rodeffer, a renowned Chicago-based painter, illustrator and sign maker. Human hand workmanship is evidence in both her personal and professional work where she merges typography and imagery. You can view her incredible body of work here at Instagram.

Junko Kitamura

JunkoKitamuraCeramist Junko Kitamura lives and works in Kyoto. Her stoneware are held in many public collections, including the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Houston Museum of Art and Brooklyn Museum of Art. She starts her pieces with simple geometric forms thrown on a potter’s wheel. After applying black slip to the clay body, she painstakingly impresses the clay with patterns then inlays it with white slip, marrying traditional techniques with modern sensibilities.
