Home Cooking - A Case for Handmade Tableware
I absolutely loved the parallel drawn between pottery and food. The two are so inherently linked as functional pottery is meant to be used with food, but the concept of “fast food” versus “home-cooked meals” is really interesting. I don’t know if I completely agree with it, though. I mean, yeah, the quality and importance of handmade pottery over mass produced store bought pots is obvious, but I don’t think using bowls from Target is as harmful as eating McDonald’s. I never heard of a pot that caused a heart attack…:-p But seriously, I thought it was a really cool concept.
Cups on Loan
What a cool idea! I love what they say about wanting to allow people to experience art in their own homes without having to buy actual pieces. It really makes it accessible to people who might otherwise not get the chance to have that kind of connection with handmade ceramics. I also think the idea of taking photographs of the pieces in use adds an interesting dimension to the project and helps give the pieces a context in which to exist. Overall very neat!
