Custom Porcelain Lighting
Hand-sculpted Pendants
Hundreds of small slabs of porcelain are pressed and thinned against the palm before being assembled diligently into these pendant lights. The impression of fingerprints and palm lines can be seen in the final product as the light illuminates them. Cool white and warm light bulbs alter the appearance of the glowing porcelain.
Hand-carved Luminaries
One-of-a-kind pieces featuring hand-carved designs into wheel-thrown translucent porcelain vessels. With an x-acto knife, an original design is carved into the clay before colored stain is applied into the line work. The luminary is kiln-fired to 2300° for durability and translucency.
I create custom lighting for both residential and commercial spaces.
