Earthy & Organic
One popular trend in the pottery world right now is creating earthy and organic pieces of artwork. Neutral and organic colors including pinks, greens and blues have become very popular this year. Earthy and organic pieces have an almost stemmed-from-nature feel, one that Miriam Loory Krombach has perfected.
In one particular piece, Miriam uses our T11 Starfish Trimming Tool in one of the many creative ways to trim with this tool. Check out her amazing piece here and see this trimming tool in action!

Biophilia
Biophilic patterns have become increasingly popular in 2021 and a lot of that has to do with many people finding their inner explorer and true love for nature. Anything from flowers to vines or any plant-like pattern is considered part of the biophilia trend. One artist in particular, Juliette Davin, has become very familiar with the biophilic patterns in her works of art.
For one of her beautiful vine mugs, Juliette uses our P16 straight U Tip Carver to create the most perfect leaves and our P12 Straight V Tip Carver for her delicate stems. Get a look at her gorgeous mug here and watch how she works her magic!

Lettering
Adding letters and words to make pottery pieces one of a kind isn’t a new trend, but it’s one we’re still loving in 2021! Nothing says good morning like a cute coffee mug with an inspirational quote or a fruit bowl with your last name styled on to it. A unique artist named Jeff Osgood uses this lettering trend on many of his detailed pieces.
In one of his creations, Jeff uses our L1 Diamond Stylus to demonstrate how he uses our stylus tool to create amazing lettering. Check out our stylus in action here and see what the hype is all about!
