Memorial Pots

These woodfired pieces are lovingly made with some of your deceased loved-one’s ashes in the glaze. The result is a beautiful piece of art that you can display on an altar, a mantle, or anywhere you choose. I find that the intense creative process of the woodfire is an incredible place to process grief and remembrance. The fire is a place humans have traditionally told our oral history around, where we remember those that came before us. Also, I experience woodfire as a sort of birthing process. As such, incorporating death and loss into the creating of something new completes a cycle that I personally find inspiring and comforting.

At this time, I am only woodfiring in June of each year. As such, I will only be providing this service to 1-2 people each year. I will work with you to decide on a general shape, design, and number of pots you’d like and then we let the magic of the woodfire decide the rest.
