Inspired by Scandinavian and Asian design, Arcata, California-based Peggy Loudon creates objects that "bring a sense of beauty and calm to a home." I really liked the crackle glaze on these cups, which looks like charred wood. Our September 2011 Japan Style issue is on newsstands now, and I've been drawn to eastern-inspired designs lately. These made me think of the charred exteriors of homes by Terunobu Fujimori. Photo 12 of 18 in American Craft Council Show by Diana Budds
