Early last year, we sat down with our friend, artist and master guilder Carol Leskanic to discuss creating an exclusive collection of lamps and sconces, a combination of our glazes and Carol’s gilding. By March we couldn’t meet in person even though our studios were only one floor away, in the same factory in Litchfield. For weeks, our communication was limited to phone chats and texts with each of us arriving to our studios with notes and samples waiting on our doorsteps. A unique collaboration, shaped by the pandemic, became a bright distraction. The result, an exclusive collection of handcrafted stoneware fixtures in finished in 12 karat white gold leaf applied using a traditional oil gilding method.
