What are the lightsculptures made of?
The lightsculptures and bowls are CERAMICS – made of top quality clay (I use mostly white, concrete grey, black, brickred clay) and fired at 980-1000 Celsius. They are all handmade, handcarved and one of a kind. Some of the lightsculptures and most bowls are glazed with non-toxic effect glazes.
How do your lightsculptures work?
They function as regular LAMPS, they come with a E14 light bulb and plastic cable with a switch and EU plug. You can always easily replace the bulb if it burns out.
How can I order?
By visiting the SHOP page, you’ll find all the available designs. If you want a custom piece, please, get in touch with me via e-mail. If you want to pay by card or Paypal, feel free to visit my Etsy shop.
I would like a custom piece, can you make it?
I love to make personalized presents, get in touch with me via: lightgalleryreka@gmail.com. Making a custom piece might take 3-10 days, it depends on the idea, size and kilning.
How long does it take to make a custom piece?
Making a lightsculpture might take 2-4 full days, then it needs to dry for 2 days, kilning takes 24-48 hours with cooling. Many of my lightsculptures are glazed, which takes another 2 days, and some pieces are handpainted with acrylic colours, painting can take a full day when it is a miniature sculpture. After assembling and packing, it is ready for shipping.
How can I pay for my order?
I send you an invoice to your e-mail and you can easily wire transfer, or if you prefer Paypal / credit card, you can shop in my Etsy store.
How do you ship them?
To the EU or outside of EU – I ship with GLS, DPD, UPS or other shipping carriers. To the USA, I ship with UPS and FedEx.
How do you protect them when you send them abroad?
They are ceramic objects, therefore very fragile. I believe in RECYCLING and I use a lot of good quality wrapping materials, recycled cardboards, bubble wraps, newspaper etc. I use 2 boxes when shipping abroad, this is my way to secure safe shipping.
Can I see them in person?
My studio and showroom is in Budapest, Hungary. Feel free to visit me and see my artwork in person! 1114 Budapest, Hamzsabégi út 30.
Do you have workshops?
I love sharing my craft with clay-lovers and I can host 2 people in my studio in Budapest. These workshops are 3 or 6 hours long and I teach you the basics of handbuilding with clay. You can make your own beautiful ceramic lightsculpture in 2-3 sessions. New workshops will start in January 2022. For more info, let’s get in touch! lightgalleryreka@gmail.com
