Title
Pool Lamps, #1
Description
Twenty-four pendant lamps hang around the perimeter of the Denton Municipal Swimming Pool.
Each of these pottery lamps was fabricated by Beaumont Mood in the basement studio of the home he shared with his wife, Martha Mood, in San Antonio, Texas. The designs were Martha's, but Beaumont "streamlined" them. The holes were hand-pierced with a wooden dowel; Beaumont was able to make four of them a day.
The lamps were commissioned by O'Neil Ford, in 1965. The budget allowed for the making of the lamps was $2,000.
