Erin Lightfoot: Earring Queen Bees

Two Queens from different hives, doing their thing to make their worlds go round. A motif to dedication, wisdom and friendship.

Porcelain. Sterling Silver findings. Dune Underglaze. Gold lustre. Gold finished pieces are painted with 24k gold glaze. The gold is hand-painted using the same technique used to decorate gold rimmed tea-cups.

Handmade in Brisbane, Australia.

ERIN LIGHTFOOT creates jewellery and decorative homewares to be worn and enjoyed. Popular as gift items, her ceramics have grown a loyal following among those who enjoy the easy elegance of her earrings and distinctive patterning of her bangles and vases.

Working with porcelain, Erin creates simple forms which are thoughtfully decorated with subtly-hued colour schemes and geometric pattern.

Believing that objects should be both useful and beautiful, she places much value on design, selection of materials and the quality of craftsmanship through which everything comes together.  

Her work draws inspiration from past movements including the Bauhaus, Modernist and Art Deco periods as well as patterning techniques from around the world. She pulls these influences together to create ceramics that feel both contemporary and slightly reminiscent.
