Am I the only one who feels like I am reading the same news every day for 5 years?

I made this 9 years ago and it is more relevant than ever. God = Love Using the bible as a weapon. Size: 70 x 50 cm Medium: Acrylic Technique: Screen Print Year: 2016 Made in: Barcelona, ES #holybible #screenprint #religion #war #holywar #printmaking #bible #itsacult #cult #art #artist

Happy Easter Weekend! #easter #animation #noAI #Blender #3d #peaceonearth #guncontrol

The Wounded Home. A small work born from the quiet violence of moving house, something I’ve done too many times to count. Each move leaves a mark. A wound. And from that wound, a scar forms, a memory. #artandmemory #textileandpaper #mixedmediaart #slowart #handmadepaper #artiststatement

Is there a home? (Egg tempura, gold tread, embroidery) #moving #eggtempura #dismissed #life #humancondition #paperart #reductiveart #minimalart #visualpoetry #poetry #artist #textileart #wisdom #embroidey #textileart #Brighton #uk

Trying to find peace and calm amid the current state of the world. Sometimes I feel it might be best to stop reading the news altogether, retreat into a kind of oblivion, and spend my days simply creating art. #innerpeace #artist #designer #humancondition #fucktrump #portrait #soon #brighton #uk

Refusing to go dark. Linen on cotton, stitched with vintage yarn, soft, worn, carrying time in every thread. A circle that holds its ground, a horizon that stays light. #research #textileart #fiberart #slowmaking #handstitched #contemporarytextiles #softsculpture #minimalart

One Hundred and twenty-one days to go before the launch of our new drop of art pieces. #art #design #mickwout #gallery #artproject #textile #porcelain #paper #humancondition #studiolife

Chappell Roan sets up fund for trans youth, raises almost half a million dollars https://bit.ly/3JlgG4E

As a fan for over 20 years, I must delete all her albums, I am sad about it, but hatred can not be tolerated. #roisinmurphy #translifematter

This wool comes straight from my dog’s nest. I dipped it in liquid porcelain, and it transformed into a delicate, unexpected material, perfect for sculptural work. #contemporaryart #porcelainart #ceramicartist #artprocess #foundobjects #transformationart #makersmovement #mickmichel #art

A little sneak preview of one of the many porcelain towers I’ve started creating. This one belongs to Archivarion the Silent, the keeper of memories, guardian of what has been forgotten, and watcher of what is yet to come. #ceramicart #art #ceramicstudio #paperporcelain #porcelainart

Works in Progress For a while now, I’ve been fascinated by height and towers. I’ve admired great architecture all my life, and I think that’s why Now I’m exploring how to bring this into my own designs These two pieces are a work in progress #ceramicart #sculpture #art #porcelainart #sculptureart

Beautiful Mistake I - This summer I began a new series of sculptures. Some came out just right, others… not so much. This one collapsed, yet I find it stunning in its own way. A mistake, but a beautiful one. #ceramicart #porcelain #sculpture #art #porcelainart #sculptureart #art

When a project fails, but still looks amazing! #porcelain #ceramic #art

Taking my annual August break. Spain in August is beautiful but brutal, too hot, too crowded. I’ll be offline, walking, reading, resting, finishing a masterclass or two. Back on 27 August, fresh and new. #offline #augustpause #summerbreak #holidaymode #slowseason #simplelife #backsoon

I lost a dear friend yesterday, I made a jewel in honour of her. The story: www.mickmichel.com/1001-pieces/... . . #1001Pieces #VisualDiary #CreativeJourney #ArtistLife #Brooch #ContemporaryJewelry #SlowArt #EmotionalObjects #mourningjewelry #mickmichel #art #jewelrymaking #artjewellery

A giant brass safety pin holds a quiet collection: small two centimetre circles cut from mussel shells, fish otoliths, porcelain, brass, acrylic, and pearls with a determined sheen. www.mickmichel.com/1001-pieces/... #art #artjewelry #dailyartpractice #handmadejewelry #materials #collage

Today I stepped into my studio and decided: every day, I’ll just pick materials that speak to me in that moment and make a piece. No planning, just instinct. #art #jewellery #design #materials #artstudio ⁠

My Paper-Making Journey, Part 1 www.mickmichel.com/journal/my-paper-making-journey-part-1 #paper #papermaking #craft #art #design #learning

The moment I posted about 1001 Pieces, the project I’ve been thinking about for years, I felt it. That quiet presence at my side. An old friend. Or maybe more like a shadow. Doubt! More on: www.mickmichel.com/1001-pieces/... #PaperArt #SlowArt #mickmichel #art #doubt #papersculpture

Though it was first made in 2022, it felt right to begin this project with this piece, a symbol of impact, memory, and resilience. More on: www.mickmichel.com/1001-pieces/... #art #visualjournal #visualblog #artobject #sculpture #textilesculpture #1001pieces #conceptualart #mickmichel

In summer 2025, I begin 1001 Pieces: a daily ritual of making. One piece a day using materials I’ve gathered and techniques I’ve honed. It may take 1001 days, or a lifetime. I’m not old, not young, but each day, I’ll create. One piece. One moment. One story. #art #design #porcelain #1001pieces

I came across a post from in my feed today, not that I’m starting a fashion brand, but the message really hit home. It said something I needed to hear: stop waiting for the perfect date to begin. #art #design #porcelain #studiolife

I can’t believe how paper-thin I managed to get this porcelain—just amazing. And it’s not even fired yet! #porcelainpaperclay #ceramicart #contemporaryceramics #artiststudio #workinprogress #handbuiltceramics #madebyhand #slowcraft #craftsmanship #art #porcelain #paperporcelain #ceramicart

Had some leftover porcelain and used it to make a few statement brooches. People like to throw the word woke around like it’s an insult—but I wear it with pride. I’d rather be woke than an ignorant f***ing twat #statementjewelry #consciousdesign #ceramicart #politicaljewelry #boldjewelry #woke

On this sweltering Thuseday, I couldn’t resist playing more with the porcelain paper clay I mixed yesterday. I tried making nesting bowls—but they don’t quite fit. Time to consult my nerdy husband for some proper calculations. #porcelainpaperclay #ceramicexperiment #studiolife #art #artist #design

After six months away, I’m finally back in the studio, working with porcelain and feeling more passionate than ever. I can’t wait to share the first pieces—successes and experiments—fresh from the kiln. #porcelainstudio #ceramicart #studiolife #workinprogress

Every Morning!

I am not a fan of the whole Barbie Box trend but this one is HILARIOUS! #barbiebox #god #religion

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

Starting to think Europe might be the real land of the free these days... 👀🇪🇺 Kidding—always knew it was. Well, the western part anyway. #LandOfTheFree #EuropeVibes #JustSaying #WesternFreedom #PerspectiveCheck #ModernLiberty #NotSoFreeElsewhere

If I had more friends in the US, I’d be shouting this from the rooftops. People need to wake up. #Trump #Oligarchy #Dictator youtu.be/jdYx6q5_rOY?...
