About
Handcrafted unique ceramic cremation urns made to honour those passed.
As the urns absorb, react, and are imbued by fire, they are marked by the warmth, flames and ash that adorns and solidifies them.
In fire we see the interplay of matter and soul / the physical and the metaphysical. As a transformational element, fire grows and nurtures the living while revealing to us a world which we can feel yet cannot touch. By linking the outer material world to inner soul worlds, fire symbolizes a portal through which transitory physical matter can transform.
