Ceramic Tree with Star

These lovely ceramic trees are individually handmade by Lava Ceramics.

Approx 6-7cm tall but there is some variation between them, and the one you receive may not look exactly the same as the one in the pic, but it will be very close! They are all hand sculpted from NZ clay and finished with a lovely gloss glaze.

Lava Ceramics is a small pottery studio based in Lyttelton, Christchurch.

Artist statement:

I'm Cari (Caroline) Quinn and I’m the muddy hands behind Lava Ceramics.

As long as I can remember I’ve been happiest while I’m being creative. It took me until my 40’s to discover clay. Once I did, there was no going back…It began when I started sculpting my own rescue dog, then our rabbit, then I started on the dogs in the neighbourhood. Now I have created an enormous dog pack, and badgers, cats, sharks, mice, chickens, birds and so much more…..
My background is in architecture and you may see elements of that in my more practical items. My main inspiration is from nature and living creatures. In particular, their cheeky characters.

These items are limited edition, and handmade in Christchurch
