CRAFTERS OF TODAY
Celebrating craftswomen and their work
Each handcrafted object we select in small editions carries its provenance and the crafter’s voice. Discover our thoughtful interview with Anna Leoni Klas, a multidisciplinary artist based in Ammersee, Germany, and explore her collection of sculptural ceramics, tableware, and vases. Working across several mediums, Anna brings together her background in textile design, creative writing, and gilding with her ceramic practice, creating pieces shaped by collected materials, research, and an intuitive response to the landscape.

A mystical vessel containing a library of collected materials, hours of research, and walks through Amsterdam and the countryside of the Ammersee region (DE). First hand thrown in grey stoneware and later sculpted with objects found along the way. Glazed with numerous materials, including mussel shells, eggshells, different types of glass, clay from the polders of Amsterdam, ashes, and sand.
The vessel is a unique piece, made by the artist Anna Leoni Klas. It is part of the research for her work “From Beneath the Roots of a Tree”, which has been exhibited across Europe.
A capsule of traces from Ærø (DK), a small island in the Baltic Sea. First hand thrown in light stoneware and later sculpted and deformed with objects found on the shoreline. The structure holds imprints of shells, branches, bones, and scribbles by the artist, acting like a ceramic map. Glazed with seaweed ashes, shells, and clay foraged on Ærø. The vessel is a unique piece, made by artist Anna Leoni Klas during a stay on the island.
Hand thrown in recycled stoneware by Anna Leoni Klas. Crafted with an eye for detail, each piece is carefully made by hand in her little countryside studio. Beautifully coated in a dusky blue with a satin finish.

Our selection brings together women crafters from across Europe working with ceramics, textiles, jewellery, and object making. Behind each piece is a person, a material, and a way of working shaped through time, skill, and care. We believe that supporting independent craft means strengthening communities, preserving knowledge, and creating closer connections to the things we choose to live with.

Textiles Wall Art
Handwoven tapestry by Elvire Debitus, created in the countryside of Brittany. Part of the limited series Right there, Behind the curtains transposes contemplative memories through abstraction and colour at the meeting point of place, moment, and emotion. Through this approach, it moves away from figurative translation and returns to the origins of the artist’s practice, offering space for subjectivity and colour research held in the mind. Made to order.

Handwoven tapestry by Elvire Debitus, created in the countryside of Brittany. Part of the limited series Right there, After the thai restaurant captures a quiet memory held between place, sensation, and emotion. Through abstraction and colour, it holds the trace of an experience that lingers softly over time. Rooted in the artist’s return to intuitive weaving, it offers a blurred and instinctive vision where colour becomes the main language and invites a gentle reflection shaped by one’s own memories.

Every other week we recommend crafter-led events, workshops, retreats, and exhibitions that bring care, depth, and meaning into our shared cultural life. These gatherings invite connection with people who value thoughtful making, learning, and genuine creative exchange.
Representation Studio
Beyond documenting and presenting the work of women across contemporary craft, we work directly with independent crafters through representation and press support, helping them build meaningful visibility and connect with opportunities that align with their values.
About our approach
-
Each piece is crafted from thoughtful natural materials—wool, clay, linen, silver, and wood. The maker carefully selects each material for its texture, durability, and connection to traditional craftsmanship. Read more.
