Maybe it’s the fact that lately I seem to find myself spending alot of time in a dimly lit room reading to put my little guy to bed, but I find myself really draw to these ceramic lamps by UK artist Liz Emtage.
I’m loving some of the textures she comes up with. But you’re going to have to go and check out her website yourself to figure out what she uses to create this one!
Liz works in a studio complex in London called Cockpit arts alongside about 80 other crafts people. Wow, it must be such an amazing space to work – makes me feel pretty lonely in my studio garage… Check out their website or stop by during an open studio;
June 12 – 14th
Friday 6-9pm
Sat & Sun 11am – 6pm
There’s some pretty gorgeous ceramics being made at Cockpit, oh and glass and jewelery and textiles and the like.

As promised here’s more pics from this weekend’s amazing workshop. I’m still buzzing with ideas and craving a good solid week in the studio (yeah right like my little guy will let me have that! ) to work through some new ideas I’ve got thanks to all the inspiration.
I’m loving some of the textures she comes up with. But you’re going to have to go and check out her website yourself to figure out what she uses to create this one!
