[1/3] Collector set of bowls; slip cast porcelain, glaze; 4 x 5.5 x 4 in. each

[2/3] William Morris mugs; slip cast porcelain, glaze; 4 x 5 x 4 in. each

[3/3] Ants set; slip cast porcelain, glaze; to 6 in. height

Andrew Gilliatt's latest body of work makes me want to scream, in that "I scream for ice cream" kind of way. I don't really scream for ice cream, but never mind that. When I look at his tumblers, cereal bowls, mugs, and platters - elegant, iterative forms, yet each one unique in its imaginative combination of colored slip, glazes, resist patterns, and decals - I'm transported back to the ice cream shop in the town where I grew up, face and hands pressed against the glass case of my monitor, mesmerized by all the sweet options.

I dare you to visit his website and not feel the same way.

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.
