They have the ability to take the ordinary out of it's known context and by making these objects function outside our pictorial framework they present us with new fresh useful products that can enhance our daily existence. They capture a unknown spirit and energy in their work and I am sure that as they roll out some of these new concepts that it will become collectors items. We plan to start with a coffee mug range, to generate some form of income and cash flow to fund this venture. The art objects, will be one of a kind, presented as an exhibition, possibly online, in 12 to 18 months time. Some art pieces will be released sooner, creating a little excitement in the run-up to the exhibition! I met Sim for a quick brief an hour ago, and some of their ideas will be hits!

Your creations are unique. With artists like you this project can only be a success - especially with the help of some of - in my view - the best ceramic artists in S A today. To all involved I would like to say : You have started something here that is unique and to my mind will become a great success! Sim and Goodman, go for it!! Your creations are unique.
