Elemental Vessels

Elemental Vessels — hand-sculpted ceramic basins and lamps

Basins, pendant lights and sculptural vessels at the scale of a room. A basin that is also a sculpture; a lamp that is also a form — each cast and fired individually, no two alike.

  • Basins

    A basin that holds water and the room’s attention. Hand-built or cast from a hand-sculpted master, glazed to the coastal palette, made to be used every day and looked at twice.

  • Pendant Light

    Sculptural lighting — a form that throws light the way the sculpture throws a shadow. Hand-worked or cast from a hand-made master, hung alone as a single point of presence.

  • Vessels & Forms

    Vessels that are sculpture first and containers second — and sometimes neither. The elemental forms of the practice, at the scale of the hand and the shelf.
