•I Heard the Owl Call My Name•
The time of Grief is a tender time when your heart aches. Your days and nights are brimming with memories of your beloved. Waves of sorrow take you by surprise. it becomes difficult to concentrate. Creating the perfect vessel to hold the ashes of your loved one requires an attention to detail and a commitment to beauty. I will do that for you.

A great grey owl spreads its wings around the urn reminding us of the connection that extends beyond death when we lose someone we love. A dreamtime spiral of dots adorns the lid.

Made in New Mexico from terra cotta micaceous clay, this urn will shimmer with the sparkle of a thousand stars and is fully glazed. The flange of the domed lid will be lined with felt to provide a snug fit for secure storage of cremation ashes.

Size: 9-10” tall x 6-7” wide, with an opening of 4” wide. The domed lid can be silicone sealed after filling.

This size has a volume of 220 cubic inches, the standard for cremated remains. If you would like a different size please contact me.

Important note about custom designs with a personal inscription: Urns with personalized inscriptions may not be returned, but I will work with you to create an urn that meets your approval. Once I design your custom urn, I will send you a photo of the urn before it is glaze fired. I will ask you to read the inscription carefully to check for errors or changes you would like. Once I make corrections I will send another photo for you to approve. After I receive final approval from you, I will place it in my kiln for the final glaze fire.
About my process:

I throw and trim my mica pots on my potter's wheel, in my studio near Taos, in the Rio Grande Gorge. I hand paint the owl with underglaze, dip into clear glaze then fire it in my kiln to 1800 degrees.

Signed with my potter's name Patch, (a name I was given at UC Santa Cruz when I first learned to throw pottery back in the sixties) and Taos, N.M.

Mica has also been used in Native American medicine bags for protection and thwarting negativity. I find its energy signature to be of an angelic being, named Micah, who has accompanied me on a recent healing journey and will come when called, as all angels do.
