Artist home / Margaret O’Rorke

“my kind of home”

Ceramist Margaret O Rorke lives and works in her fifteenth century hall house in Oxfordshire. The house is furnished with plain wooden doors, simple oak furniture and graphic artworks – all of which provide a contrast to Margaret’s dazzling, light-emitting porcelain creations.

    Ceramics meets light in the Porcelain Sculptures by Margaret O’Rorke. The potter, praised by American Craft, with her works reminds us that even one of the oldest materials is object of continuous research and improvement by the artists. Art is exploration! http://www.lanciatrendvisions.com/en/263/margaret-o-rorke-lights-porcelain
