Great Sugar Loaf
$22.00
The conical peak rising about 500 metres above the Wicklow coast, half an hour south of Dublin. From a distance the shape looks volcanic. The rock is Cambrian quartzite, older than almost everything around it, and harder than the slate that has worn away from its sides. The trail up from the col is short and steep, an hour each way, more scramble than walk at the top. From the summit, the Irish Sea on one side and the Wicklow Mountains on the other.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
