Outside Inspiration: Luminary Cellular
Stoneware and porcelain might not seem to be natural choices to depict biological elements but somehow Andrew Dewitt manages work that is fluid, graceful and looks nearly alive. This Black Fringed Porcelain Luminary was created using high-fired translucent porcelain with gloss and satin glazes. It is just one gorgeous piece among many that are highly organic and primarily cellular in design.
I was thinking that for those of us playing around with translucent clays, this piece could bring on just a flood of ideas. I know I’ve got a few thoughts swirling around in my mind from looking at Andrew’s work. Take a journey through his gallery on his beautiful website.

I am intrigued–I wonder how the glazes you mention handle the heat of a lamp across the years-hard fired, or surface–(knowing almost nothing about ceramic) something all polymer artists want to know!Love the piece, btw.
