Composition in pattern, colour and form, a facett Composition in pattern, colour  and form, a facetted cup and saucer by Patsy Hely (c1980's). Sip a fragrant herbal tea on a hot summer's day, the patterns recompose each time cup returns to saucer. Slip cast earthenware, hand painted with ceramic stains, clear glazed. Made at the Glebe Estate Workshop, Sydney. @patsyhely #handmadecupandsaucer #handpaintedpottery #participatoryobject  #contemporaryceramics #glebeestateworkshop @australianceramics  #contemporaryceramicart  #contemporarydesign #leuniginternationaldayofthecup  #patternandutility #facettedcupandsauce

Reading this afternoon. A timely recent birthday g Reading this afternoon. A timely recent birthday gift. It's years since I read 'the Unknown Craftsman' so it is salutary to read Yanagi's  essays, to recall studying the everyday objects in the Japan Crafts Museum in Tokyo and to feel that understanding and continuing to make beautiful resilient things for everyday life will always be an honourable calling. #mingei #soetsuyanagi #williammorris #craftedobjectsforeverdayuse  #utility #thebeautyofeverdaythings #readingthisafternoon #participatoryobject

Ballet Russes costume for 'Le Dieu Bleu.' To have Ballet Russes costume for 'Le Dieu Bleu.' To have seen Nijinsky dance in this costume, designed by Leon Bakst, in Paris at the Theatre Chatelet on 13th May, 1912 would have been quite something. ( Never mind that the ballet did not receive rave reviews). My graphite and watercolour studies (c.1991) from the actual costume in the ANG collection. (Twelfth day of Christmas, the eve of the epiphany) our decorations will come down tomorrow night. #theatrechatelet #Nijinsky  #Leon Bakst #Balletrussescostumes #randomstackofsketchbooks #Venetiansketchbook #artistsvisualnotes  #watercolouronpaper  #ledieubleu  #13thMay1912 #twelfthdayofchristmas
