Incense stick holders designed and created by Amanda Murphy.

This is a great piece for your incense, the length of it perfectly catching any falling ash.

It is decorated with glaze oxides and recycled glass.

Ceramicist Amanda Murphy makes decorative hand-built stoneware ceramics including vases, platters and bowls. Each piece is hand-built, inspired by movement within the landscape.

The incense stick holders are individually hand made so no two pieces are ever the same and the piece you order will be completely unique to you.

About the Artist

"It is the wildness of the rugged Irish landscape" that inspires Amanda Murphy. And she encapsulates that inspiration in a wholly individual way; as a ceramic artist of a most particular distinction. Amanda's work is distinctively fluid; transience in a solid form it speaks of a river curving round or over flow stones, the fall-off of mountain into valley, shore sands after the tide. Her glazing techniques play with reflections, with dazzling colour bursts, with muted deep richness and texture as sunlight does across the landscape

"I found my love of clay when I was preparing a portfolio to apply for Art College in secondary school. I loved the clay in my hands and found I could really express myself with it. I then attended Crawford Art College in Cork and studied Ceramic design. After that I travelled for a while and came back to complete the Pottery Skills Course which was running in Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny. I worked with several potteries, Ardmore, Badger Hill and Stephen Pearce being the main ones and also started making my own pieces.

More travel followed and when myself and my husband returned to Ireland from Australia in 2008 I started making this collection full time
