Knotwork LA was founded by Linda Hsiao in 2012, and is an evolving collection of handcrafted ceramic homegoods. Knotwork originally began as an outlet to identify work that was done during spare time, evenings and weekends with the desire to make beautiful useful things. Linda was born and raised in Orange County CA, studied industrial design at Pratt in Brooklyn and graduated 2004. She spent a decade in the eyewear industry until her desire to work with her hands and create one-of-a-kind objects led her back to Southern California and to ceramics. Linda’s move to Los Angeles in 2009 coincided with her re-interest in studio pottery and a love of exploring the outdoors, she draws on the landscape of her childhood and surroundings for much of the inspiration for her work. Which includes both functional and conceptual / decorative ceramics, woodware and home product design. Each item is proudly handcrafted by Linda Hsiao in a small home studio in Altadena, California.

About this collection: 
Empty Vessels and Stacking Creatures by Linda Hsiao.
The Empty Vessel and Stacking Creature Collections represent my body and mind for these past 6 years of motherhood. I've been a vessel for children who grew inside me, birthed and left me empty. Now the empty space is for holding the thoughts, wants, and needs of my children. The spout is to pour them out leaving me still and empty again. These feelings of motherhood: from the burden of carrying these children, to the space I’ve made for them in my body and in my life, have been all consuming. At times I feel poured out with nothing left to give, other times I'm so full I'm overflowing, but my own vessel, full or empty, is the support and foundation of our family: I must pick them up and carry them, one by one, stacked on me as we move along in this life. I am still an empty vessel, but ready to be open and filled up. I will make space for life, water, creativity, and for my own thoughts again when the time comes. For now these vessels are ready to be filled, used, poured, stacked, and emptied. One day they will be resting.

Lasted 2 minutes
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Gave it a 2 star bc it was cute and on time. I have a GSD- a mildly aggressive chewer. This toy literally lasted 2 minutes and there was stuffing coming out so I had to take it away. Wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased.

Only Made It Two Weeks
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
This toy easily became my Fig's favorite toy. The squeaker wasn't as annoying as it is in many other dog plushies. However, that's where the positives end. After the first week, there was a hole in the stitching on its neck. I sewed it up, but it obviously did not last. The squeaker went silent after a few more days. I bought it on March 28th, and it is now April 12th. It's just a rag, now. RIP little honey badger. You did well in your short life time.

Not 100% indestructible, but cute and worth the money
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
My dog absolutely love this little toy although when I looked up indestructible dog toys, this is one of the first things came up. I have to say it is not indestructible. I have not found one single dog ball or chew baby that is indestructible. My dog has found every which way to destroy them. It is now four days later and it’s still almost intact, but she has placed a hole in it. It does come with a squeaker, although the second day she already pulled it out it’s cute and it’s fun. Your cat could technically play with it if you had a cat and they wanted one quality wise, I would say it’s definitely close to indestructible, but it’s not completely indestructible and the colors were so fun.

It's not indestructible.
Color: Blue
Buyers beware, I have a jack russell, and I just got this item ten minutes ago, my dog ripped it up.It is not indestructible, it is a waste of money. My dog is very aggressive with his toys. So back to the drawing board...So I can't return this item because, it's ripped up and they're not gonna give me my money back... So do not buy this toy.

Good for kittens & cats too!
Size: 15 Inch
Bought this for our new kitten, 5 months old, and didn't know if it was a good purchase or not. He loves it! He can chew on it, drag it around the house, interact with us too. And he hasn't lost or destroyed it. The only disappointment is the head squeaker stop working. The placard stated it would work even if bit. Not a big deal, though; kitten doesn't like the squeak. LOL
