From Julie:
While perusing the Heath Ceramics newsletter recently, I came across a slideshow of artist June Schwarcz’s house in Sausalito. She’s lived in the hills of northern Sausalito since 1959, long enough to see her bohemian modern style go in, out, and back in again. Her pioneering vessels and pieces are in the permanent collection at NY’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and are carried by the Manhattan branch of our favorite SF-based store, De Vera.

From Julie:
UK-based ceramics artist Kiki Gerontaki calls her work “functional and semi-functional” (we assume semi-functional refers to her pierced teacup series); she will be showing her work at 100% Design in London in September 2008, sharing space with wallpaper designer Deborah Bowness (see our earlier post Pattern Language).

Who doesn’t long for a room of one’s own? A Virginia Woolf–worthy studio in North London, a sanctuary in the heart of the urban scene.
