BeaSts of burdEn
my current work focuses on two joined themes: beasts of burden and the latin alphabet.
a beast of burden is a mythical creature who, silently and stoically, helps humans carry their burdens contained in a loadstone.
a loadstone is formed by gathering burdens—those you shoulder willingly, or those cast upon you. on the outside, these burdens are symbolically represented by letters or numbers whose true meaning only the bearer knows. sometimes our burdens are small, and sometimes they are large. either way, they are carried with grace, turning them from mere weight into sources of strength, resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose.
cuRrent work
hand built. hand drawn. one-of-a-kind.
all perfectly imperfect.
Reach out to us to start your pottery journey or for any inquiries about our classes, workshops, or exhibitions.
most of the time i sit down, grab a handful of clay and start molding with no clear direction; letting the clay dictate what it wants to be; a small vase, large vase, bowl or beast.
the pieces carry their handmade imperfections perfectly; like a freckle or birthmark, they add a feeling of intention and depth to their presence.
my desire is that once you receive a piece, you'll treasure it for a lifetime, then hand it down to someone to do the same.
take care, be well, and thank you for the support ♥
