The Anatomy of Stillness
Ceramics is a practice of conversation between design and material, intention and heat, the maker and the earth. To mark the release of the Volute Mug, we visited Studio Yun’s peaceful, light-filled space in Orewa to discuss the sensory journey of its creation. Through the lenses of touch, sight, sound, and the philosophy of the spiral, this is a conversation on patience, glaze trials, and the quiet survival of the kiln.

A Quiet Luminosity
We had a conversation with artist Briana Jamieson to discuss the sensory experience behind her work. From the drag of oil on a smooth canvas to the grounding rhythm of a community garden, Briana shares how she captures the fleeting essence of atmosphere, memory, and everyday joy.

The Solitary Ritual: Reading as Refuge
A conversation with Phoebe Kim about the environments that allow stories to unfold, the grounding weight of paper in a digital world, and how reading becomes a way of returning to oneself.

Beyond the Grid
We often view weaving through a romantic lens: the rhythmic clack of the loom and the quiet solitude of the studio. But for Christine, the practice is far more architectural. We spoke to her about the behaviour of yarn in space, the complexity of "flow," and the deep lessons learned from off-loom traditions.
