craaaazy studio

i realize that in the real world (new york) people are hurrying around enjoying fashion week and the glamorous life..but up in the provinces(boston) we are going absolutely mad for packing up orders orders orders! people cannot get enough of our fabulous links vases..(thank you House Beautiful!) so here is a sneak peek at the inner workings of the studio in full swing.

tools of the trade. i hope all the people out there who ordered these lovelies will long enjoy their piece of sunshine from our happy studio!

showtime!

here is how we were looking in new york this week, and maybe you will get the idea what all the fuss was about. and how it all came together..finally! not only did we have an amazing time, but people were loving our work. grazie mille NYC!

my logo pattern

we have been struggling to find a perfect "JR" logo pattern for the new fall collection, and we think we may have struck gold with this greek key inspired pattern. can you find all the "j"'s?

a shiny new suzani

ichiko just unloaded a plate from the kiln, and i snapped this photo right off. it is the first stab at a suzani pattern, and though i imagine there will be many more iterations before we perfect the design, i do like this pattern's playful quality, and bold colors.
