Giant's Causeway
$22.00
The Atlantic edge of County Antrim, where roughly forty thousand basalt columns step down into the sea. They formed about sixty million years ago, when a sheet of lava cooled and cracked into mostly six-sided pillars. The locals will tell you the giant Fionn built it to cross to Scotland. The Scottish island of Staffa carries the same formation — same lava sheet, different shore. The columns show clearest when the morning tide is low and the slabs lie wet and dark. The National Trust keeps the path; the rest is North Atlantic weather. People walk out, find a stone the right size, sit.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
