Megan Bogonovich is an artist and ceramic teacher who lives in Concord New Hampshire. She makes kooky and cool ceramic sculptures and bowls. At first glance you think you’re just looking at normal figurines, then upon closer inspection you see that it’s a man’s head in a nest of baby birds, or a squirrel headed bride standing beside her human headed husband. I love things that make you think... and wonder!
Her bowls are quite beautiful as well. She screen prints the images onto flat porcelain, then pinches them into these cute tiny little bowls! According to her you can only get about 37 peanuts into the bowl, but that’s OK, peanuts are fattening, and 37 is probably a good handful!

Shoshona Snow

Shoshona Snow is a Kingston, NY based ceramic artist.
With a BFA in ceramics in hand, she started her own ceramics studio,and does a little bit of teaching on the side.
Most of her items are thrown on the potter’s wheel. She uses fine grolleg porcelain (oh how I love porcelain!) and uses a black slip which she then carves to let the beautiful white of the porcelain show through. The work is so tactile and textured, it must feel so nice to the touch!
I am a confirmed clay addict. It’s one medium that I am pretty hopeless at, so I really admire potters who do such beautiful and inventive work!

Pearson Maron

PearsonMaron is a collaboration between married artists Quincy Pearson and Adam Maron. They seem to have a bit of a fascination with mythical creatures... the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot (here in British Columbia we call it the Sasquatch!) and The Abominable Snowman. We have a lake monster here in B.C. called The Ogopogo... she's rather famous in these parts, although I've never seen her myself!
These sculptures are so kooky, and you know I love the kooky! They're small, like 3" x 2" small which just makes them all the better.

Bailey Doesn't Bark

Re Jin Lee is the New York City based designer of Bailey Doesn’t Bark, a contemporary wares and paper goods company. Originally from Brazil, she got her Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design from Faculdade Santa Marcelina – São Paulo, and began her career as a fashion designer and stylist.
The call of the artist couldn't be ignored though, so she started Bailey Doesn't bark to fullfill that dream. I love the humour of her products... imagine eating your morning cereal from a bowl with a cockroach on it, or taking your dishes with ants on them to a picnic! I'm especially partial to her Four Seasons collections as well. Simple and beautiful!
