Geometric Star Luminary

This beautiful ceramic luminary is handcrafted in a family workshop in the community of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua. The intricate geometric designs are etched by hand using a sharpened bicycle spoke. Each luminary is created out of local clay, turned on a kick wheel, hand-painted, and wood-fired in a beehive-shaped kiln. Can be used with tea light candle or string of electric lights. Approximate size: 4.5" wide x 5" high.  Color: Cream / Turquoise / Black Includes mini battery LED string lights How luminaries are made   Care Instructions  Wipe Clean Meet the Artisan Women of the Cloud Forest For the majority of the artisans in the ceramic community of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua, house and workshop are integrated as one.
