These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku pieces. No one’s buying right now, and I understand - art isn’t always the priority in difficult times. But I’m still making, and sharing a little beauty feels worthwhile. A like or share might help these pieces find their people. 🙏

The world feels very unsettled, and art isn’t always the priority in these trying times. Even so, I'm here and keep on making. These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku vessels available now. A share or like to help them find their people would mean a great deal. 🙏

6 raku vases in a grid with a white background in two rows of three. There is a vase name in black text under each image, from left to, to right bottom, the names are Lagoon Nebula, Draconis, Skyfire, Pinwheel, Persueus'Cloud, Tethy's Tide.

A closeup of 3 vases glowing in the reduction firing of the raku process.
