The Bright Angle

I just had to grab a quick photo of this sweet pair of side plates in our new Patina and Honey glazes alongside Tyler’s springy Aloha shirt. Today on the blog we discuss tableware! This article is was originally written by @nsmoen for @thestudiopotter Vol. 42, No, 2 in 2014. With @thewaterbirdasheville opening this Friday featuring our handmade tableware, we wanted to revisit these thoughts on artist and restaurant collaborations. The Waterbird is located at 197 Charlotte Street and will be a coffee shop by day and neighborhood cocktail bar by night. We can’t wait to check out the new space! 💘 . . . . . #thebrightangle #porcelain #handmade #pottery #slipcast #instapottery #design #dinnerware #tableware #makersmovement #handsandhustle #asheville #ashevilleartist #etsy #etsyshop #ceramics (at The Bright Angle)

We are so proud of our former Design Resident Adrienne Eliades for being selected as a 2018 Ceramics Monthly Emerging Artist! It’s so well deserved. Congratulations Adrienne! We have a handful of Adrienne’s incredibly detailed limited edition collaborations with us available in the web shop. Take a look 👀 . . . . . #adrienneeliades #porcelain #handmade #pottery #instapottery #design #mug #handmademug #residentartist #ceramicsmonthly #potteryforall (at The Bright Angle)

When your coffee grinder breaks....watch through to the end to see our sweet problem solving skills in action. We go through a bag of Penny Cup coffee a week over here 😅😬

Austin Riddle's summer residency came to an end last week and he's moved on to another excellent residency, but he left us with some amazing designs and super clean molds. (at The Bright Angle)

There's nothing like a few days in the city to get us ready to get back into the studio - especially after that 12 hour drive back with a car full of pots. 😐 What do you do to keep yourself excited about your creative practice? (at Asheville, North Carolina)

How lucky are we to have friends who bring us flowers that they farmed themselves? 🌹🌷 Come by tonight to see us all gussied up for a party, we will be baking fresh savory scones and have plenty of beer to share! We'll be here 5-8pm. 207 Coxe Avenue, Studio 15 🍻🥖🍺🥐 (at The Bright Angle)

We've got a few special pieces picked out for a web shop update tomorrow, including this sweetie. Sleek and simple, the Bloom Vase was designed to house your flowers without distracting from their natural beauty. Swing by our shop tomorrow at 5pm to take a look 🌷 www.thebrightangle.com 👈👈 (at The Bright Angle)

Happy Sunday ☀️ these Monday Mugs are waiting to greet you with the dose of caffeine you will surely need tomorrow morning. Check out the full lineup in our shop update THIS WEEK! www.thebrightangle.com 📷 Nicole McConville (at Asheville, North Carolina)

Hey Kickstarter backers! We are working away here in our studio to get your perks to you, and we are almost ready to ship!

Can't stop won't stop ☕️ #coffeetime (at Asheville, North Carolina)

Can't get enough of that slip pouring! All of our mold systems are made in house to recreate our thoughtful designs, and our liquid porcelain is mixed from scratch from our own secret recipe 🤐. These molds are the tools we choose to create an efficient system that can be taught and executed by the skilled makers on our team. What is a unique tool or method you use in your creative process? #thebrightangle #slip #tbaone (at Asheville, North Carolina)

That awkward moment when you realize you may never have a dining area this dreamy, but your ceramics collection can still be on point. 👌 (at Asheville, North Carolina)

A handful of sprout vases coated in one of our four #TBAone glazes. We're thinking of rolling out a fifth soon - what color do you think we should add to our palette? (at The Bright Angle)

This place where our planter has found its home looks like the perfect combination of earthy, artsy and homey. I spy a nest of some kind - do you have any found objects that you keep and cherish? 📸 Lydia See #thebrightangle #planter (at Asheville, North Carolina)

Wedding season is in full swing, and did you know that according to miss manners you have up to one year to send the perfect gift? If you're still on the hunt, grab a pair of Monday mugs for those beloveds, and throw in a one of our teapots if you really feel the love. Our pre-order shop is up and running with a special that's only lasting a little while longer, so go ahead and grab your gift. 📷 @nicolemcconville #TBAone #weddingbells (at The Bright Angle)

A moment of quiet in the studio as we wrap up the week ✌️ #moldmaking #piasystems (at The Bright Angle)
