Copper and Crystal Adorned Pottery
Copper has long been celebrated for its purported healing properties, spanning ancient civilizations to modern holistic practices. Beyond its physical benefits, copper is revered for its metaphysical properties, believed to enhance energy flow and amplify intentions. Whether worn as jewelry or incorporated into daily life through copper-infused products, many embrace its potential to harmonize mind, body, and spirit, fostering a holistic approach to healing. My pieces feature a copper lustre with dissolved metal as its essential component.
​
Each piece is also joined with powerful gemstones and crystals. I most often use quartz, but I also often use amethyst, moonstone, and labradorite. My quartz crystals are mainly sourced from the rock hounds themselves, from US sources. Every mug and teapot is fully unique in its way -- an artistic collaboration between me and the earth.
Pottery for Herbalists, witches, and nature-loving spiritualists
Copper Wilds is a three-dimensional love letter to the living world
Crafting these pieces are part of my practice to deepen a connection to the plants (and occasionally creatures) that inspire them. They are my allies and friends.

Clay itself is a profound connector to earth-based spirituality. Its tactile nature is grounding, deeply rooted in human tradition and practice. Working with clay inspires a deep communion with the natural world, bridging the gap between humanity and the earth's ancient wisdom. All potters are animists, whether they realize it or not. Most acknowledge the undeniable reality of the kiln gods, and many even have altars or shrines near the kiln.

This project was brought to life by Suzanne, a artist and friend who supported and radically believed in me. I inherited her pottery studio when she died, and taught myself the craft. It continues in memory of her with life and vigor in the wake of her passing. May everything crafted by my hands become a prayer to her memory. To my ancestors, the nonhuman creatures I love, and the earth under my feet.
