A 5th-century BC portable clay cooker, known as an anthrakia (charcoal stove) was found on the ancient Greek island of Delos and is now housed at the Archaeological Museum of Delos, which is right across the island of Mykonos.
🫕
Delos was one of the holiest sites in antiquity, as it was considered the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. Staying overnight was forbidden and is still held to this day.
🫕
Complete with three stoves, an oven, and a grill, this ingenious design reveals how advanced and adaptable ancient Greek domestic life was.
🫕
What’s most fascinating? It was portable— made to move wherever comfort or weather allowed, blending practicality with social ritual.
A rare glimpse into the warmth and ingenuity of everyday ancient Greece.

At Oceanside Museum, gentle parenting meets modern art — with tiny signs inviting kids (and adults) to “Touch This!”
Instead of strict rules, the museum fosters curiosity and mindful interaction.

Much like redirecting a child’s “no” into a positive “yes,” this approach transforms learning into exploration.

It’s a creative model for how art spaces can support emotional growth and connection — a lesson in empathy, play, and imagination for all ages.

'Anxiety Bookshelf' transforms reading into an act of mindfulness. Each miniature bookshelf arrives empty — readers slowly curate it with handpicked, “dispersed” books based on their favorite genres.

The process invites reflection, creativity, and calm — turning library culture into a meditative art form. In a world that moves too fast, Anxiety Bookshelf reminds us that slow reading and quiet collecting can be therapy in itself.

Some say A.I. will never take some artists’ jobs— bead artist Galissa Shalfetr proves why.
With painstaking patience, bead by bead, they form luminous patterns, textures, and depth that no algorithm can replicate.

Beading is rooted in physicality, ritual, and touch—something digital tools can imitate, but never truly feel. In every stitched design, shalfetr reminds us of the human presence inside every small detail.
