About

Carver Lights began as a ceramics store called Wonky Mugs, creating perfectly imperfect hand-built mugs, dinner sets and homewares.

Four years ago the lights went on and I launched Carver Lights. I see so many spaces where there is a disconnect between beautiful architectural features and textures, and the cold steel and aluminium lighting solutions. So I've set out to create sculptural lighting centrepieces that evoke an emotional response.

I've been lucky enough to work in a creative role throughout my career. I spent years in advertising, then at Facebook and Instagram, and yearned to do something that was more meaningful than writing ads. So down the rabbit hole of ceramics and lighting design I went.

I love experimenting with different forms and materials and playing with the way light can make something feel alive. There is no end to the creative possibilities.

Thank you for visiting my site and for supporting local artists.
