Dishing It Out

By Holly Peterson

Phoenix-based designer Christopher Jagmin often goes strolling through flea markets, thrift stores, and garage sales seeking inspiration for his dinnerware collections. One day, while out hunting and gathering, he realized how many orphan plates got discarded, started adopting them, and began forming families by hand-printing one of three designs on them – a 22k-gold bird called Trudy (named after one of his favorite aunts), a punk rocker named Spike, and a speech bubble with the word “Yeah” in it. Before he knew it, he had a line of recycled plates for which we immediately went gaga. Makes sense to me. Why draw from your findings when you can draw right on them? The final products are cute, resourceful, and one-of-a kind. And in my book, that’s plenty to “Yeah” about.
