Can’t get enough of small-batch, handmade ceramics? Then feast your eyes on The Pursuits of Happiness. For me, the more off-beat and quirky the better, and Portland, OR based artist April Brimer does not disappoint. Drawing inspiration from the playfulness of 60’s California and the oddities of the natural world, her stunning use of shape and color create functional art-objects that I can’t get enough of.
Inspired by all things bumpy and lumpy, the bump mug just makes me smile. The sparing and playful use of 22k is just what my morning coffee ritual needs. And I mean, come on, how could you not want to keep your rings on the teenie-tiny half & half mini tray?
I’m loving all the pops of color in the gemstones dish set. The color palate is definitely channeling that 60’s Cali vibe, bright bold and all over the place in a way that still just goes. So fun, and definitely a must-have for any self-respecting ring dish collector.
Can we talk about the polka dot moment happening below? Those dishes could make anything look amazing, but it’s the half and half tray that really stole my heart. With it’s marble treatment and whimsical dots, I think it’s love.
