Southwell potter

I make handmade ceramic lamps. They are not traditional lamps with a base and shade, but pottery vessels with holes that contains an electric light fitting or t-light.

The holes allow light to spill out from the lamp and fall onto the surfaces around it. The position of the lamp alters the way light falls onto walls and ceilings. The effect can create a really magical atmosphere in any room.

All my profits continue to go to World Bicycle Relief.
