A hand thrown stoneware vase.
Part of our series titled Street Dreams. The series aims to document and celebrate some of the everyday moments of skateboarding history through a series of ceramic artworks. Skateboarding saw significant changes during the 1980s and 90s, and this project focuses on skateboarding journalism during this vibrant and formative period. The ceramic pieces are all one-off artworks designed and made by studio potter James Sims. They are hand thrown from a variety of clay bodies and use geometric shapes inspired by the curves of skateparks and street ledges, rails, and steps. Through in depth research into 1980s and 90s skateboarding magazines, a series of ceramic transfers are used to celebrate these everyday moments often lost from documented skateboarding history.
