Fort Makers

"We fort." Fort Makers is an artist collective that makes functional and interactive art.

We create large-scale public art installations, as well as a wide variety of fashion and home products. Each piece reflects the unique hand of the artist and the energy and inspiration of the group. The vast array of objects we’ve made is a reflection of our overall goal; we aim to create a three-dimensional and cohesive, visual world.

Let’s take a look at Salvaje Planter by Tamika Rivera (Tamika Rivera), hand-knotted from multicolored poly and nylon rope.

The piece was originally shown in Fort Makers’ The Planter Show, where her woven, web-like form drew on her Puerto Rican and Taíno ancestry to speak for unheard voices and untouched paths.

For this edition of “Fort Visits,” we spent time with artist Keith Simpson (), whose ceramic practice moves between code and clay, structure and spontaneity.

Keith speaks about ceramics as a space for both control and release, where technical knowledge meets a return to wonder. Glazes are layered, surfaces pushed toward uncertainty, and the kiln still leaves room for a bit of magic.

Swipe through for a glimpse into Keith’s expansive approach to making, teaching, and staying curious within the everyday.

Created by Shino Takeda () for Fort Makers’ GREEN HOUSE series, this large scale ceramic planter is designed to hold and sustain living form.

Gas fired and layered with painterly surface and shifting color, each piece considers the relationship between vessel and plant. One fixed and formed, the other growing and unpredictable, brought together in a single composition.

Surrealist inspired and hand blown, Jason Bauer () and Romina Gonzales’ () Sunrise Sunset Cups capture the feeling of shifting light.

Formed in ombre glass with contrasting orb handles, each one suggests a horizon line, a slow fade from day to night. A chic reminder of the warmer evenings and summer sunsets ahead.

Handcrafted from jet cut aluminum and finished in matte black lacquer, these sconces bring soft, dimensional light to the wall.

Inspired by playful forms found in nature and the cosmos, each shape is backlit with a warm, dimmable LED glow that creates depth without overpowering the room. Lightweight with a distinct silhouette, they shift the atmosphere with ease.
