Tessy King

I have made this collection of candlestick holders for Pieces of Eight to act as functional sculptures for the home. Intended to sit on display when not in use, these are delicately pinched and sculpted from a white clay with the addition of gold embellishments. They will age well as wax collects on their surface over time.

Tessy King is a ceramic artist based in the Clarence Valley in NSW. Tessy makes sculptural vessels and small functional objects that reflect her interest in the decorative arts and craft traditions more broadly. These works are gently constructed from a variety of clays and finished with layered glazes and metallic lustres.
