- handbuilt terracotta ceramic wall light
- made of clay collected from the potter’s surroundings

At the back of the sconce, there is a space that allows for both a light bulb to pass through and for the sconce to be mounted on hooks attached to the wall. The wall light is sold without a bulb so it will work for any international electrical system.

In two villages located two kilometers from each other, about fifteen women potters were still active in the 1980s. Today there are two: Naïma and Houda.
Houda started working as a potter in order to help her parents who just bought land. On their land, they have olive trees and cattle. Her two sisters assist her in her job, helping her pick up clay in the mountains and cow dung to prepare the fuel for the in-ground kiln.
Although Houda learned the craft out of necessity, she is actually very passionate about it. She likes to mix tradition and modernity, combining the motives of her tribe with new shapes and designs.
