High-fired wheel-thrown porcelain with blue interior.

Initially, these jars were created near the end of our lengthy drought as I dreamed of rain. I wanted to honor the elements associated with rain: clouds, water, lightning, growth. Since then, I have added beads, found objects, and other items tied to the lid.

When sticks are added to the lid, I think of them as kindling for the "fire" of creativity, inspiration, and abundance.

These jars can be used for many things, including ashes.

The interior of these containers honors the sacred space that is within each of us to dream, to create, and to dance with the elements, each in our own way.
