When I get home from work somebody has to shame me into processing my ceramic orders
If you’ve been trying to contact me about mine, I’m sorry if I haven’t responded. I just moved and there’s no Internet at my house yet and tumblr mobile sucks. I am still interested but if you’ve arranged other buyers I understand. (I contacted you from my main blog hearthlesshuntress but I don’t want my roommate to see this post… She might anyway but at least I tried. So reblogging this from a side blog)

“Cristina and Cyla painted a wall in Bushwick, Brooklyn, as a tribute to the great poet Paulo Leminski who would be 70 years old in August 2014. We are very grateful to our new friend Nev (No Entry Design), for all the support and contact with Livestream Public who gave us the opportunity to paint this mural at the corner of Morgan Ave & Stagg St.”
Criatipos emerged alongside the professional career of designers Cris, Cyla, Doo and Jack as a means to escape from the digital realm and to bring back handmade processes, blending work and fun to communicate in a unique approach.

Mathematical and Scientific Markings on Rustic Pottery by Laura C. Hewitt
Designed in rural Alaska, artist Laura C. Hewitt’s rustic, handmade pottery is influenced by the magic found within the mundane, nature and its pragmatic obscurity. Embossed with typographical mappings of the universe, mathematical formulas, and technological charts, Hewitt’s work pays homage to the dichotomy of the union between science and art.
Adorned with patterns, which include alpha numeric marks from vintage machinist punches and inlaid drawings reminiscent of maps, circuit board, astronomy and flow charts running into deeply carved organic river markings, each piece is unique.
Chronicling binary numbers, the distance from sun, the solar year and equatorial diameter of all planets, Ohm’s law, and the mapping of a circuit board among other technical formulas, each creation is Wheel thrown and hand carved. The vintage manual typewriter keys markings add a rustic and agrarian sensibility, which create a profound juxtaposition with the numerical values of technology in Hewitt’s pottery. You can find her entire collection in her Etsy shop.
