Herman Mudgett - of the Handmade Curiosities Collective
aka. Handmade Curiosities Collective – Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada
Handmade Curiosities is a collective of artists who specializes in classic horror monster ceramic tumblers, witchy pottery, and sassy scented soy candles.
Herman Mudgett is a pseudonym for the maker of horror monster tumblers. As they say on their site: "Herman Mudget is a completely fake name used by a professional artist M.F.A. 2006 for the arts and crafts that don’t fit well with his main body of work. Herman does whatever he damn well pleases, but always at a high standard of craftsmanship."
The more famous Herman Mudgett was Herman Webster Mudgett (May 16, 1861 – May 7, 1896), better known as Dr. Henry Howard Holmes or H. H. Holmes -- an American con artist and serial killer active between 1891 and 1894.
