Emily Stacy is a self-taught artist and designer whose work lives at the intersection of sculpture, material, and memory. After years in the design industry, she returned to a lifelong desire: to create with her hands. Her debut collection, Drape—a series of sculptural lighting fixtures hand-molded in clay and cast in bronze—was born from that instinct.
Raised by a creative mother who sewed slipcovers from her own patterns and treated fabric like sculpture, Emily grew up immersed in the textures of home. That influence lingers in her work: a timeless reverence for form, and a curiosity about how one material can speak on behalf of another. With Drape, folds of imagined cloth are frozen in bronze—solid yet soft, classical yet deeply personal.
Each piece is shaped by hand, then cast in a local California foundry using the centuries-old lost wax method. The result is a collection that honors history while creating something entirely her own—practical, poetic, and rooted in the intimacy of touch.
