Thrown by hand in stoneware clay and fired in an electric kiln, each candlestick by Laura Hamilton (Bird in Hand) is entirely unique. The hand-formed surfaces retain traces of the making process—pinches, spirals, and soft irregularities—capturing the transformation of clay from wet, organic material into fired ceramic through what the artist describes as a kind of alchemy. Balancing utility with quiet beauty, these candlesticks are designed to hold water and flame—useful, fragile, and enduring. Their form reflects Hamilton’s commitment to keeping the evidence of the hand at work visible, celebrating the raw character of process-led pottery. Made in Scotland.
