i found juliet gorman’s work before i met her. josh and i came across a pile of pottery on the street a couple years ago and i love all of it and excitedly took it home. for a year or so i wondered about “JG”, the name signed on the bottom of each piece. and then juliet and i finally met in a class and i figured out that she was the ceramicist whose work i’d been admiring. since then we’ve become friends and i stopped by her apartment yesterday to see the new beads she has been working on. they are beautiful!. juliet is also a great decorator and i love her home. she has a fantastic collection of textiles and art. she will be selling her ceramic necklaces at the renegade craft fair on june 11th + 12th.

oh wow, that is my idea of bead heaven! it's a goal of mine to learn how to make ceramic beads someday.

Thanks Lena, and everyone. Felicity, you can find a similar pillow in the Etsy shop where I bought it: http://www.etsy.com/shop/sukan. Enjoy! I'll be posting more photos of the necklaces in progress at http://www.flickr.com/photos/julietg

Now I'm curious — why was her pottery in the street?!

Beautiful work (and beautiful couch cushions!)…

katie,
they were early, experimental pieces of hers that she didn't want to keep. i'm not sure if this is true of other cities, but in new york it is common to put things on the street that neighbors may be interested in taking.
