Design Foraging Sculpture

Friday Design Finds: bkb ceramics

Sometimes, I happen upon the loveliest artsy things when I’m not looking.  Last Sunday, Mr. F & I were enjoying a quiet day at home and decided to take a little walk down the hill into Joshua Tree.  We explored a few of the storefronts we hadn’t seen yet and tucked away in a corner was a new little shop, bkb ceramics.  I immediately fell for the modern, simple shapes and the deep rich raku glazes.  The shop is new, but artist/sculptor/ceramicist Brian Bosworth has already made waves at the Dwell on Design show in LA last year.

Each piece is unique, hand carved, completely affordable and functional, with a drain hole in the bottom.  Just add rocks & your choice of succulent and voila, instant desert garden!  We’re seriously thinking we’ll go back and pick our favorite as our artsy reminder of our time in Joshua Tree.. I’m leaning towards the Medium Blue Raku beauty above!
