Julianne Ahn, the artistic force behind the online shop Object & Totem, creates ceramics that are powerful in their simplicity. Their speckled and swirled glazes are muted yet vibrant, and there’s an appealing intimacy to their hand-formed and hand-thrown shapes. Ahn values the ritual and meditative process of working in clay, and her works invite simple rituals of their own: drinking tea from a cup or arranging flowers in a vase. They remind me that a beautiful object can transform daily routine from a chore to a treat.

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 on Fridays for more.
