The Power of Intention

Some of you may recall that our ‘Vase of Attraction’ is our first community based art project for 2020, and we are looking to start the year off on fire!

What is the ‘Vase of Attraction’ you might be asking?

My concept for this piece is to allow the process of raku and the flames of the reduction process to act as a powerful intention to bring positive change for all who to choose to participate in this process collectively. The process for this project will be similar to that of the ‘Healing Vase Project’, which you can learn more about in the video below:

Some of you may recall that I asked people to choose between these two vases to determine which would be our vase of attraction:

The vase I have chosen is below. I enjoyed reading everyone’s thoughts and comments regarding which vase I should pick. Ultimately I made my choice because of the sentiment that some of you shared that this vase looked pregnant (with possibility I say) and ready to bring to life to all of our dreams and projects.

The Vase of Attraction!

You can still join us! We will be accepting submissions for the ‘Vase of Attraction’ project here.

What do you think of the vase I have chosen? If you want to stay updated on this and other projects and see how the vase turns out, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter here.

I hope everyone’s New Year is off to a wonderful start!

You may be wondering how you can participate in this process? The answer is simple. I am asking you to share one of the following in the written words of your choice in the comments on the project page linked here:

What you would like to attract for 2020. What are your hopes
and dreams for the upcoming year? This could be anything from more
love, to new opportunities, personal growth or more joy.Globally,
what positive changes you would like to see in our world. This could
be anything from peace, prosperity, or any type of universal global
healing.

I only ask that you keep all comments positive, non political and respectful.

Add a pun in the comments if you feel drawn to roost your words there (though it will be hawkward if I am the only one making bird puns and you are not emused by my lark.)

A New Year is Coming: Dream More, Worry Less!

Happy New Year’s Eve!

I thought it might be a fun and self motivating idea if I shared some of my goals and dreams with you all for the coming year. What is of particular interest to me is to see where I am with all of these things next year at this time! I plan to write a post at the end of next year so we can see how well I did.

Owl Have You Know That This Is A Special Event.

While many birds have flown south by now, some owls have decided to stick around. Before the snow gets much deeper though, these raku creatures are going to take a shot at flying out of the Maritimes! So enjoy my fowl puns and read on!

For a short time, these Raku Owls are going to be flying off the pottery shelves for $70 including shipping! You can see and purchase from the full list here but keep in mind that with more winter on the way, these birds aren’t going to be sticking around forever and this special migratory price will end on January 13th at 1159GMT! Simply add the owl you like to your shopping cart but of course contact us should you have any questions.

These owls are on the move and could soon be at your home! Will it be you hoo they are seeing?

Yes, surprised owl, it does start today!

I also have some new exciting pieces and products that are currently under development that I will be sharing with you throughout the year, so I hope you will consider following my journey. You can do so by subscribing to my newsletter here.
