Coral-inspired porcelain lights.

And so, two years on, I have returned to making these porcelain lights.

Stage one.

Site-specific ceramics.

Two years ago I was on my local beach making site specific ceramics.

Today I am back again in ceramics wondering what to do next.

The last installation I did was ‘Back to Back’ in 2017.

I would like to return to this and expand on it but I think my first project has to be a return to my coral- inspired porcelain lights.

I started the project prior to a major unexpected operation.

I impressed coral into clay and cut out a circle. I went on to produce a form with this texture at the top.

After making a mold I used porcelain slip to produce lightshades.

Porcelain slip becomes transparent after firing.

I never really finished the project to my satisfaction so maybe now is the time?

Watch this space…

Interesting bit of local information. Neolithic tomb in Brixham.
