Having a penchant for all things hand-made, I was impressed to find so many talented artists in my new city, Pittsburgh. One of them was clever enough to combine his local target audience with a great magazine concept and his handiwork with ceramics, and cater to custom requests. I’m not sure if there’s any limit, but I’m pretty sure if you can think it up, he’ll make it happen.
During the holidays, I bought a few sturdy pieces for gifts (one for myself, too) and started planning what I might like to request. Certainly, something having to do with Campagnolo bicycle parts – the mechanical craft which a lot of people never get the chance to experience and appreciate. I can be such a snob sometimes. But, at least I drink my coffee in style!
