Care & Maintenance

BARE BISQUE

Natural “bisque” (unpainted ceramic) fixtures can be cleaned by sanding with fine 150-grit sandpaper. Do not use liquid cleaners on the porous bisque surface.

PAINTING BISQUE

If you enjoy DIY, our bare bisque ceramic is smooth and easy to paint. You may use any basic acrylic or latex paint of your choosing. For the ease of clean-up, etc. water based paint is recommended. Should you choose oil based paint (e.g., a can of spray paint), we recommend using an appropriate primer first; otherwise, a primer is not necessary.

FINISHES

A19’s finishes are durable enough to hold up to wear both indoors and out. The exterior surface can be dusted or wiped clean with a non-abrasive damp cloth or sponge.

DAMP & WET LOCATIONS

To prevent water from reaching the electrical connections, apply a bead of silicone around the full perimeter of the fixture housing to seal it to the wall surface. Our standard damp location fixtures are suitable for indoor or outdoor locations subject to condensation of moisture. Select our Outdoor/WET rated option when the light fixture or electrical components will be directly exposed to rain water.

About Us: The A19 Philosophy

At A19, we believe light is more than just illumination—it’s an essential part of how we experience and shape our surroundings. Light influences mood, perception, and well-being. That’s why we don’t just make ceramic wall sconces and pendant fixtures; we help designers, architects, and homeowners transform spaces into something meaningful.

Every project is a labor of love. Choosing the right lighting is just one step in a journey that requires vision, time, and dedication. That’s why we take pride in being a trusted partner—meticulous in our craftsmanship, conscientious in our decisions, and deeply committed to bringing your vision to light (pun intended).

Every space tells a story, and our handcrafted ceramic lighting plays a role in that narrative. Shape, placement, and quality of light transform an environment, turning ordinary spaces into inspiring experiences. Whether it’s a cozy home, a boutique hotel, or a mindful retreat, our fixtures contribute to something greater—an atmosphere designed with intention and artistry.

We are honored to be your creative partners. We take time to understand your vision, explore design possibilities with you, and obsess over the details so that each fixture feels like a seamless extension of your project.

Handcrafted by our small team of artisans, every A19 fixture reflects our core values: integrity, artistry, and community. From the way we craft each fixture to the relationships we build with our customers, vendors, and team, we approach our work with care and intention. We’re also mindful stewards of our resources, recycling everything we can—from clay to water—not just because it’s responsible, but because efficiency and thoughtfulness are woven into our process.

We are grateful to the designers, architects, businesses, and homeowners who trust us to be part of their creative process and give our fixtures a home in their projects. Seeing the spaces our lighting becomes part of—hearing how it enhances moments and brings visions to life—is one of our greatest joys. In many ways, we live vicariously through our customers, knowing that each piece we create plays a small yet meaningful role in something bigger.

About Us: A19’s Origin Story

Like many creative ventures, A19 Artisan Lighting started with a dream—and a napkin. One unforgettable night at a local watering hole, fueled by an overly generous margarita, two friends hatched the idea to take a leap and run their own business. They’d treat employees like family, improve how business was done by ensuring every client felt valued, and set their own hours (not yet knowing that meant 24/7). Maybe they wouldn’t change the whole world, but they were determined to make a difference.

The following work day, Cinnamon marched into her boss’s office, looked him straight in the eye, and blurted out that she wanted to buy or start her own lighting manufacturing company. The second the words fell out, panic set in—“Did I just quit my job?” That evening, she bought her first book on how to write a business plan, dove into the numbers, and mapped out what it would take to make it happen. A week later, her boss became her first mentor, and she turned to the people who mattered most—the skilled artisans she worked alongside every day. She shared her vision, and they said yes. That was 1998. A19 was born, and the realities of entrepreneurship took flight.

More than 25 years later, that same commitment—to craftsmanship, creativity, and unparalleled service—still defines A19. And Max and Cinnamon, A19’s first artisans, still share the same dedication that started it all: meticulous craftsmanship, integrity in everything we do, and an unwavering dedication to our customers. A19 has never been just about making ceramic light fixtures—it’s about forging meaningful relationships and making a difference in the spaces and lives we touch.
