Dunluce Castle
$22.00
A ruin on a basalt headland on the north coast of County Antrim, joined to the mainland by a narrow bridge of stone. The MacDonnell clan held the place through the 1600s, until the cliff began to give and the household kitchen, by local account, broke off one night and went into the sea below. The Atlantic has kept working on the rock ever since, taking what it can reach. From the coast road west of Portballintrae, the silhouette is what most people picture when they imagine a castle on a sea cliff. The wind here is rarely small.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
