Raku pottery, vases, and gifts
2019 has drawn to a close and it has been a challenging year in many ways, but I have done my best to harness those challenges and use that energy to make beautiful things. Among the challenges, there were many bright spots to my year both personally and creatively. I wanted to take this opportunity to share my top five creative achievements with you!
Some of you may recall that our ‘Vase of Attraction’ is our first community based art project for 2020, and we are looking to start the year off on fire!
I thought it might be a fun and self motivating idea if I shared some of my goals and dreams with you all for the coming year. What is of particular interest to me is to see where I am with all of these things next year at this time! I plan to write a post at the end of next year so we can see how well I did.
The winter solstice is an opportunity to start reflecting on this year and harness the magic and energy of the holiday season to go into the next year renewed and revitalized. I often use the holidays as an opportunity to set goals and intentions for the following year.
What you would like to attract for 2020. What are your hopes and dreams for the upcoming year? What positive changes you would like to see in our world.

The firing is complete and the healing vase is here! We have included a video of the entire project. Please join us for the unveiling of ‘The Healing Vase’.
My concept for this piece is to allow the process of raku and the flames of the reduction process to act as a healing tonic for your grief and pain, for mine, and for all who to choose to participate in this process collectively. The end result – transforming pain and grief into an object of beauty.
