Chandra Stubbs combines hand-thrown and extruded porcelain forms with needle-felted merino wool to create these enchanting works for the wall. I love how the clay, reserved and sleek, plays against the joyful, fuzzy fiber. They send my brain tumbling with thoughts of speech bubbles and kaleidoscopes, as if each piece were a secret portal into a conversation happening in color.
Can't get enough craft? Neither can we. Heck Yes Craft is a series of visual blog posts with a simple mission: to show off amazing work. Come back every Friday for more.

Fabulous. As a potter and a crocheter, I often find myself thinking of how I can merge clay and textiles together. This is brilliant.

The combination of porcelain and felt is wonderful! It's great to see how Chandra pushes the use of material envelope. As a mixed media textile artist myself this is inspiring to see.
