Ceramics: Fleet Objects

Fleet Objects is the Vancouver based design studio of Zoe Garred. Working primarily with natural materials, Zoe's passion lies in creating objects that are useful but abstract in form and application. By leaving the function of her pieces open to interpretation she invites the user to define the object's significance. I like how the plates can become lids to the pools ( different sized bowls/vase) and that the pieces can be used for various uses.

Zoe has exhibited all over the world including at the Designboom mart in ICFF NYC and 100% Design Tokyo, Designboom's “Handled with Care” in London. She holds degrees in industrial design from Emily Carr University and in painting from the University of Calgary. Visit Fleet Objects online:

Patio Wall Ornaments

Loving these wall ornaments I happened upon today over at Flora Grubb. Bright, cheery and colourful, each shell has a wall screw built into the back of it so it can be secured to a wooden wall or drywall by hand. The result is a perfect little decorative cup that brightens any space (inside or out) while sitting flush with the wall. Comes in gold, lime, orange and red.

New from Eikcam

I'm loving these new mini air plant vessels from local ceramic artist, Grace Lee of Eikcam. Made in oval or round shapes, they can be hung on the wall or from the ceiling with a piece of twine. The clay is in it's natural state, Eikcam's signature look; and creates a simple statement. Each piece also comes with a mini air plant , and as she tells us, some even ready to flower.

Visit Eikcam at our market this month here or at her etsy shop here.
