Liz Emtage’s porcelain lighting is translucent, emitting a warm glow that accentuates the inlaid patterns on the lamp surface. Inspired by nature, the surface is often textured with grasses, leaves, seeds and flower heads; according to clients requests or what inspires her. The colours in the clay body are chosen to compliment the pattern on the lamp surface and vice versa. Liz is constantly trying out new techniques and experimenting with the clay in order to expand the range of lights and finishes that can be produced. The latest designs include screen prints of sandpatterns from Thailand; textures created by found objects from the beach; using glaze stains as if they were watercolours on the clay surface. When lit the lamps emit an ethereal glow, converting the surface decoration into textures of light. When off the lamps become sculptural pieces, rich with subtle surface pattern. £25 - £6,000 June 2008, Cockpit Arts Open Studios, Northington Street, WC1N 2008, ‘Love your home show’, Sandown Park, Esher 2008, ‘Garden of Delights’, Shire Hall Gallery, Market Square, Stafford. 07 – 08, ‘Effervescence 2’, Sussex Barn Gallery, West Dean Estate, Chichester, West Sussex. 07 – 08, ‘Elements’, Figura Gallery, 24 High Street, Windsor, Berkshire 2007, Cavaliero Finn at Jeannie Avent Gallery, 14 North Cross Road, East Dulwich, London. 2007, ‘Midcentury Modern’, Christison Hall, Dulwich College, London 2007, ‘Origin’, Somerset House, The Strand, London WC2R 1LA 2007, ‘Metropolitan Works Show 07’, Creative Industries Centre, 41 Commercial Road, London 2006, ‘Glow’, Black Swan Guild, 2 Bridge Street, Frome, Somerset 2006, ‘100% Design’, Earls Court, London 2008; Lighting for hotel in Mauritus 2007; Lighting for private holiday home 2006; Lighting for private home 2004; Crafts Council Bursary to show at 100% Design 1997; Arts For Everyone Express grant, Funded by the Arts Council of England 2008; Great British Crafts, BBC Good Homes Magazine; February. 2007; Makers Gallery, Craftsman Magazine; August. 2006; Delicate Lights, Elle Decoration Magazine; August. 2006; Profile, Elle Decor, India; Summer. 2006; News, Design Diffusion, Italy; March 2006; Key Looks 2006, Homes and Gardens Magazine; January 2005; Elle Decor, India; Winter. 2005; Potters Day, Ceramic Review Magazine; May to June. 2004; 100% New Design Trends, Egg, Taiwan; December 2005; Gift Guide, Food and Wine, USA; December. 2005; See the light; Nikki Style, USA; August. 2005; Profile, London Potters Magazine; June to July.
