The turban like shape is detailed with thin, raised white stripes that add texture and character. Topped with a handmade paper shade by Jil Smith. it is a delightful piece of functional art. Handmade pottery from kRI kRI Studio, shade from Insatiable Studios. Both are in Seattle.

Jil Smith, a colleague of mine, makes her shades using a wet paper mache process and a Japanese paper called Kinwashi. The process requires several layers of paper. Each layer is wet, weak and fragile when it is applied but tightens up like a drum when dry. Four layers of the Kinwashi forms a luminous shell which can then be decorated. The finished shade is durable and fade resistant.

My lamp bases are slip cast, glazed and fired in my studio, kRI kRI Studio, in Seattle. The original shapes are created by hand using the coil and pinch technique. This gives them a softly dimpled surface that reflects light in a pleasing way. Thin, raised white stripes detail each piece.

Because they are made by hand, my lamps are not perfect in the way a factory produced lamp is. Instead, they have a wabi-sabi style with slight imperfections that give them their individual character.

Each lamp is finished with high quality hardware and a UL approved, cloth covered cord and plug

This lamp also has a matching ceramic finial
