Every lamp named by the people on Instagram
Using different hand building techniques, Duke has been exploring stacking forms with repeated geometric motifs.
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 sourced to be in dialogue with the base, hardware chosen, and lamp wired by hand.
Duke makes vases, bowls, plates, mugs, juicers and teapots built for daily use. Some wheel-thrown, some hand built. 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.

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.
