Scott Brough

Our friend Scott Brough is a ceramic artist working from Heretaunga, Hastings. His work is inspired by the tactile qualities of Japanese and Korean ceramics. He makes his own clay mixes from bought and local clays, with fine pumice, sand or stone to open the clay’s texture. Scott has recently returned from a month long residency at Driving Creek Railway and is currently working towards a joint exhibition with Yasmin Dubrau, which will be a collection of paintings and ceramics.

We are happy to share Scott's unique edit of five Everyday Needs pieces that he loves.

1. Summer Taper Candles // Joined Wick

Hōhepa has been a big part of my life since I have been in Hawke's Bay. As well as just being beautiful candles, they are also made by some of the loveliest people you can meet.

2. Stainless Steel Grid Iron

We love cooking outside over a nice fire and this would be perfect for cooking flatbreads and plenty of other things.

3. Handmade Ceramic Teapot // Dreamcake

Big fan of Ford's Factory: love the free, inventive style and use of colour. Two big ticks for art and function!

4. Woven Chef's Apron // Wild Yam

Would totally rock this in the kitchen, and the fabric looks like it would wear beautifully over time.

5. Kamenoko Tawashi Cleaning Brush

The best cleaning brushes... they last for so long and you don't need to use so much washing liquid. Once they are worn out we demote them to using in the studio or in the garden.
