We love this collaborative film by @themodernhouse x @toast of @__olivercook work away!
‘The second edition of Modern Pioneers, a collaborative series between The Modern House and TOAST, spotlighting the practices of four creatives across the country, sees us venture north to the studio of stone sculptor Oliver Cook (@__olivercook ).
Oliver owes it to chance – or fate, even – that he now works in alabaster. If it wasn’t for a trip to Kettle’s Yard in 2019, where he was struck by an exhibition on stoneware, he might still be woodworking.
Alabaster might be more commonly used for intricate ornamental sculptures, but Oliver is doing things differently. Instead, the 30-year-old is creating contemporary functional vessels and objects that make the most of the diaphanous qualities of the ancient material.
Head to the bio of The Modern House to watch the full film and read the interview.’ — we’ve linked it in ours too!
Originally from Japan, Yuta Segawa lives and works in London and specialises in making miniature pots. Each pot is thrown individually by hand, hand turned and hand glazed. In Miniature also debuts new forms and glazes including a series in silver, pewter and gold.
Enjoy this short film of Yuta making one of his miniature pots🏺

Philip Eglin / The Making of a Priest and Pin-Up Oval Dish
Our October exhibitions are now finished but you can still explore each of them courtesy of our Viewing Rooms. We also share studio insight films and more, which you will find on each artist page or you can subscribe to our YouTube channel - link in bio.
We thought we’d share one last film of @philipeglin making an oval dish illustrated with line drawings generated from photographs and carte de visite images. Strange Bedfellows delved deep into Eglin’s image making and he re-visited a subject he first explored in 2009; the priest and pin-up.

The stands for sets of rings are unique to the works of Wendy Ramshaw. The first perspex stands were made in the late sixties and did not screw apart because only the bottom section existed for the rings to sit upon. The concept of the ring set as a sculptural work, to be enjoyed when not being worn, was at the time regarded as innovative. Stands are often similar as they are produced for rings in related series. The stands for special pieces are completely unique to the work which is mounted upon them. Sometimes it may be that the stand and ring are of equal importance.
In this short film, you can see how Wendy's iconic Ringsets can stand monumental like on their bespoke stands. These stands can then be unscrewed to release the Ringset captured within. Visit our YouTube channel to see the full thing.

All of Jacqueline Ryan's work is created with a gold alloy, which she combines herself. This is how the gold becomes such a beautiful, warm and rich colour. In this neckpiece, entitled Herringbone Necklace, Jacqueline has constructed every detail, including forming the tiny tubes which act as the spine, allowing for this captivating, fluid movement.
