What turns ordinary lighting into an expression
of your own personal style and taste? Tom, owner of Cascase Clayworks,
is dedicated to provide affordable, functional, handcrafted lighting
for use in every home and business. In addition to creating attractive
lighting fixtures with endless custom design capabilities and applications,
our lighitng helps preserve our natural environmental darkness while
allowing sufficient area illumination. The sturdy ceramic fixtures,
available in several sizes with dozens of weather resistant fired
glaze colors, are adaptable for many interior as well as exterior
uses. We are able to adapt to most CCR regulations regarding dirctional
lighting.
Cascade Clayworks has evolved in Central Oregon
over the past ten plus years. From our modest southwest style beginning,
we have grown to address most lighting design needs.
Each hand carved fixture is unique, taking approximately
two weeks to complete by first pouring the liquid clay (slip) into
homemade plater molds, to glazing and carving each design, then
finishing with multiple kiln firings. The artistic designs are first
drawn on paper and traced into the soft clay cylinders. Next, the
desings are carved into the clay with tiny pin holes added around
the perimeter of the design. At night, the outline of the deisgn
is lighted through the tiny holes. The fine quality and lenghthy
process truly produces an attractive piece of art. Tom proudly completes
each piece with his signature and date.
Custom work and designs are always a pleasure!
