Artist Don Moyer makes dinnerware that looks like grandma’s blue Willow-pattern dishes, but with a big TWIST! If you look closely you’ll see that these are no ordinary porcelain pieces. Each one depicts a CALAMITY of some kind!!
His business is called Calamityware and his products are AWESOME!!
“The Calamityware series started in 2011 when I inherited a traditional, Willow-pattern plate and decided to redraw it and add the excitement of a pterodactyl. People urged me to find a way to reproduce my plate drawings on porcelain and the first in a series of successful Kickstarter projects was born. I’ve been delighted that so many people want to share their homes with Calamityware. These plates take a design pattern with a 300-year history in a new direction. My goal is to make an object that is practical, beautiful, and funny. A wicked combination.”
