Handmade bases paired with found & vintage shades. No two combinations alike.
Using different hand building techniques, Duke has been exploring stacking forms with repeated geometric motifs.
Alongside the lamps, Duke makes wheel-thrown vessels, bowls, mugs, citrus reamers, teapots and functional ware built for daily use. Every piece is one of a kind.
Duke relishes the artistic freedom he feels when doing pottery. Risk taking and lifelong learning are at the center of his work. He also loves the physical timeline pottery creates. With each piece he works on, a moment in time is captured - a creative impulse is made into a permanent object. Duke Doyle Pottery is meant to be living history of a growing artist.
Lamp bases are thrown on the wheel or hand-built.
Slow dried and carved by hand when the clay becomes leather hard.
Bisque fired, then glazed and fired again to cone 10.
Shades are sourced to be in dialogue with the base, hardware is chosen, and each lamp is wired by hand.
Take home a one-of-a-kind handmade piece. If you're not seeing what you want in the shop, get in touch.
Dark stoneware with raw, organic edge. Perfect for anything from flaky salt (pictured) to a jewelry dish.
Duke takes commissions with the caveat that pottery is a surprising and slow process. Things often come out different than you expect, but you will only pay if you love it.
