White Glaze Lamp by Clement Leonardo

24" x 14"

Los Angeles-based ceramicist Clement Leonardo started clay work in high school, later attending the School For American Crafts at RIT, where he earned his BFA. After realizing he didn’t enjoy working alone, he gave up the craft and persued other creative mediums. “It took me 40 years to pick [clay] back up and now I love the solitude of my studio” . Leonardo’s work tends to involve an additive process, versus carving into the surface of his pieces. He designs with an interior design use in mind and tries to never repeat a piece more than once (except in the case of a pair).
