Lila Round Ceramic Magnet in Blue Bow

Description

Introducing Lila Bow, a round ceramic magnet from the La Luminosa collection. She features hand painted blue flowers tied together with a bow, soft and sweet on a creamy stoneware base. The kind of tiny thing you keep coming back to. Two neodymium magnets on the back so she stays put. One of a kind, handmade in Melbourne.

Story Behind the Piece

Lila came from the same place all the magnets did, a love of small beautiful things and the way a tiny object can hold a big feeling. I was exploring what my illustrative style looks like when I have complete freedom, no brief, no client, just motifs I love painting over and over.

Artist Notes

I roll out the stoneware clay, cut each shape and hand paint using nail polish brushes for the fine detail work. Underglaze goes on before a clear glaze coat and firing. Two neodymium magnets are attached by hand after the second firing. I chose stoneware specifically because these live on fridges and need to be hardy enough to survive the occasional fall.

About the Series

La Luminosa means "the radiant" in Italian. This collection started with one thing, my love of sparkle and reflections of light. I wanted it to feel light and airy, a culmination of my exploration of new materials in the Summer of 25/26.
