These one of a kind, handbuilt ceramic table lamps are from The LAMP SHOW series by Trevor Goosen. The series is an ongoing exploration into functional ceramic sculpture. This body of work showcases Trevor's affinities for geometry and order as much as for cheekily sensorial visual play.

Lamps are paired with an LED mirror top bulb and braided cloth covered wire.

Trevor Goosen is a fabricator and artist working in Seattle. He received his MFA in Print Media with a focus on sculpture from School of the Art Institute Chicago in 2015. Since moving from San Francisco, Trevor has been involved with SOIL Gallery, Pottery Northwest, and currently teaches sculpture at Cornish College of the Arts.

Hand crafted and all uniquely splatter painted, these mugs are designed by ceramicist and sculptor Peter Shire and made by residents of the Echo Park neighborhood in Los Angeles. Shire founded the pottery in 1972 to create ceramics that were more reasonably priced than his gallery work, and named it after the L.A. neighborhood where he was raised.

The mugs are crafted in small series using a slab construction, hand-rolled style, then individually hand painted. This process creates a unique splatter pattern and color combination on every much rendering no two exactly alike. The splatter series was inspired by the paintings of Sam Francis and the ceramic construction techniques of Adrian Saxe, both artists who have lived and created in Los Angeles.

Hand-formed ceramic, and hand painted, each piece is unique. We cannot guarantee the exact look of your mug. But if you feel very strongly about a particular look, you can email us at dig@gravelandgold.
