The Well Collected Nest: Josh Herman Ceramics + Giveaway

Spotlight on one of my Favorite Ceramicists and a “Win It Wednesday” Giveaway

Beautiful things that warm your heart and speak to your essence, are what transform a house into a haven.  For me, one of those such things is the extraordinary work of San Diego based ceramicist, Josh Herman [JOSH HERMAN CERAMICS]. The elegant symmetry his pieces exude ….the feeling of calm they induce…the earthy and sensual connection to nature they suggest.  The duality of Josh’s work rests in its simultaneous complexity and simplicity. His skilfull hand embodies the clean, sophisticated forms of midcentury design while channeling through the vessels, the Eastern spirit of mindfulness and balance.  His signature, volcanic glazes and richly blended colors layer in unpredictability and optimism. And now, accompanying his larger art pieces and sculptures, Josh also offers some smaller vessels at more accessible price points [some of them are available at design within reach], that can incorporate themselves naturally into your daily lifestyle. So, all this is to say…that Josh Herman is crazy-talented….it’s just that simple.  I truly love his work and think you will too.

GIVEAWAY:  Today, Josh has generously offered to give away one of his artful vessels to a lucky reader. CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH ONE.
