Golden Hour Ceramic Art

The Thought Behind It

Golden Hour is a contemplative ceramic wall piece that reimagines the form and feeling of traditional Indian jharokhas. At its heart lies a solitary maroon niche, hand-sculpted and anchored within a delicately carved arch. The niche appears suspended in time, drawing the eye inward as if into a memory. A backdrop of bamboo basketry adds a woven rhythm to the work, contrasted by the cool sheen of a hand-twined copper coil and a golden thread tassel that nods to cultural ornamentation.

This piece is an invitation to pause, to notice how textures – clay, fibre, metal – converse with each other. To trace the quiet geometry of the arch. To see how light might filter through the imagined lattice, casting momentary shadows. Every element is intentional: the layered, layered frame edges; the subdued floral motifs brushed onto the plaster; the interplay of natural materials that evoke both nostalgia and renewal.

Crafted high up in the Dhauladhar mountains by contemporary ceramic artists at Studio Karamica, Golden Hour reflects the essence of soft-spoken luxury. It offers more than decoration – it offers a sense of stillness. Whether placed above a console or nestled into a gallery wall, this crafted assemblage brings texture, depth, and a thoughtful nod to India’s architectural past into the modern home.
