This beautiful clay beads chandelier is entirely handmade from the same clay that the Likoma Islanders use to build their own houses. Here we combine the clay beads with recycled glass beads to create chandeliers that are striking examples of what you can do with local, natural, and recycled materials. Entirely handmade by the artisans from Katundu workshop.
We have two standard sizes available for this shape and style which can be selected through the drop-down menu.
50cm dia / 3 Tiers / 50cm length
