What a surprise when i saw Takayuki's works on Kimberly's blog!
Don't you think that these pieces are amazing?

Takayuki Watanabe is an artist that i met in Japan last year.
He is a ceramist from MinamiIzu, Shizuoka.

He doesn't have a website, but if you are interested in his works, write me and i'll put you in contact with him.

I found a book that looks really interesting: "A Handmade Life", by William S. Coperthwaite.

Some days ago I found a very interesting website of a museum dedicated to anthropology. It has a huge library with information of artcraft from all the world.
I spent hours looking for ceramic, clothes, and every kind of handmade objects, completly fascinated.
I am glad to share with you this wonderful discovery.

Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, at Harvard University.

As the collections are online you can easily perform searches.
I have prepared some posts about different cultures to show the things I like the most. The first one is from Peru.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel around the world researching craft forms?
And to later on open a school where you can learn how to be completely self-sufficient, making your own things with your hands.
I have been thinking about this for a long time now.
