origin 2011: part 2

as promised, here is a little selection of some of the work that we liked at this years Origin.

we thought we'd start with Derek Wilson's beautiful work because he is one of our favourite ceramicists. we met Derek at last years show and absolutely fell in love with his work. this year we got 4 pieces from him: a beautiful large stemmed bowl, a little pourer, a tea pot, and a little lidded pot in chalky grey. it's so nice when you meet a designer maker, who's work you really love, and they share the same appreciation for your work. Derek got one of our groupie tables that we had at Origin this year - a little low bench/table with a lovely silvery grey old oak top.

here are a few images from Derek's beautiful website and a link below so you can check out more of his stunning work.
