Pillar

The soft tones of this piece are just so warm and lovely, like layers of sand! The most admirable thing though is the process involved in creating this lovely texture; it's not a glaze, it's created by the careful layering of different clays.

ABOUT THE MAKER

Lucy is a ceramicist working out of her studio in Tāmaki Makaurau, New Zealand. Her pieces are all handbuilt, unique and unrepeatable. She begins with rolling thin sheets of hand-stained stoneware clay into a slab, then inlays, builds each piece, then whittles to reveal hidden layers. Her process is heavily influenced by 17th-century Agateware and Nerokomi, the forms of Brutalist architecture and mid-century design. Lucy studied Sculpture at Elam School of Fine Arts, and started working with clay as a means to engage fluidly between design and art.
