Comment on Catalog Stylin’ by Kristen Kieffer

Thanks for the congrats, guys.
To Joe, KleinReid are studio artists who also have production lines, and do sell them in their stores. I think my heart would stop if R & B suddenly wanted my work to sell. Since it’s just little old me working, and I’m not highly prolific, I’m happy and honored to just be “included” right now.
To Michael, Yeah, I didn’t see my piece right away either, but they’re selling the couch not my bowl. Just swapping my piece with the KleinReid’s bud vase (dk blue on a black table), would highlight both pieces better…but again, that’s not their point. I’m happy to see the good in the effort, both of using my work and handmade in general in their styling. :-)

Congratulations! Very cool.

I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but who arranged these objects for the photo shoot? Were they color blind? Your pottery would have been better promoted by placing it with a different color sofa or moving it to a different place on the dark table to set it’s beautiful color! It would have also saved you the time you took to insert an arrow on the image.

Shame on them!

I’m aware that these relationships are fragile. We all want more exposure through these channels, but this seemingly random styling of objects doesn’t highlight the color or the shape of your beautiful pottery.

I should bite my tongue instead of the hand that feeds because we should all be so lucky to get exposure in any way in the wider consumer culture. Please accept my apologies for my taking this good news to harp on with petty criticisms.

It would even be better if they were selling your pieces in their stores! : )

Oh & congratulations!

Hi! Your water-etching technique highly influenced my graduate work and I have included your DVD in my thesis. In order to properly document it for my bibliiography, may I ask who directed it? I assume it was you, but wanted to ask.
Thank you so much for making it!
