Paper Clay lighting

Last week I met up with a craftsperson that is creating lamps with Paper Clay - delightfully 'light' in more than one way.

Those interested can see examples at http://www.yenrobinson.co.uk/

All best,

Grant

Porcelain paper clay is a beautiful medium and does indeed lend itself to lighting due to it's translucent qualities - very nice lighting & I must say reasonably priced! Di :>); ▶ Reply to This

Whilst there is an ever ebullient list of things to try out, spare hours for such fun activities often seem capped by routines. I hope you can break your routines often and look forward to news of your ways.

All best,

whilst..... delighted to see that you Grant have used the very very useful addition of your signature in your post - please not everyone - its very valuable for search engine listings - a little amendment to that Grant will do even more good ....

cheers Di

Thanks for the link Grant, I would never have found that one again!; ▶ Reply to This

Are there any findings of that Uni. research that would be good/useful to include here on this thread?; ▶ Reply to This
