The Discovery

We discovered the ceramics of Nicholas Lysaght while seeking stock for Rogers de Rin.

Never shown and created purely for his own please and satisfaction, we felt that these highly original works deserved a wider audience and so we persuaded Nicholas to continue creating these works of art.

A fusion of natural elements, gold, blue john, fell spar, amber, meteorite, coprolite and even the not so rare, rust, incorporated into his ceramics, has brought a completely original approach to the art of the potter.

People seeing these works have been most impressed and have asked to see more. However production is very time-consuming and with the semi-precious materials used, costly. Nicholas Lysaght has no formal training, but a very assured and artistic approach and is producing innovative works of consummate beauty.

These occur where the grain of the tree has grown in an irregular manner and filled with small knots, forming a knobbly growth on the side of the tree. These highly figured burs are used by wood workers and are much prized for their beauty, although the mis-shapen grain makes them extremely hard to work. Dimensions: 33cm x 20cm x 5.5cm
