Julia Black: On a recent Etsy shopping spree I was overcome by an urge to shop for retro-style stuff so, when I came across a talented ceramic artist by the name of Jill Rosenwald, I knew I had struck pay dirt. Jill’s work is totally chilled out and playful, and completely on target for the 70's colours, patterns and shapes I was after, and, after more digging into Rosenwald- land I found out that it was her time spent as a kid at summer camp in Vermont - surrounded by a hippy-ish arts and crafts culture - that set the creative ball rolling for her. Now Jill calls Boston home, and you might spy her work on the shelves at Barney’s and Nieman Marcus, in mags like In Style, oh, and not forgetting my personal fave, on the desk of sexpot/PR maven Samantha Jones in HBO's Sex and the City. Sweet!
