ABOUT THE POTTERY
Each urn is a one-of-a-kind, museum quality,
heirloom collectable original featuring the proprietary 14-step process
mastered by the artist over 36 years.
The process remains unduplicated anywhere in the world. Leaves, grapes and nuts appear dried, blown
and nestled into her Clay Art. The work
is wheel thrown with hand built additions in kiln fired clay from real white,
red, gambrel and burr oak, silver and Norway maple, black walnut, elm, catnip,
ginkgo, pine, grape leaves and vines. An
average human urn requires over 50,000 hand-strokes and multiple kiln firings
over two to four months to complete. The
urns include a personal inscription on the bottom and your personal message
inside the lid. Each design is
copyrighted and signed by the artist.
TO PURCHASE A CLAY ART CREMATION URN
A limited number of urns of various designs are
kept on hand for short notice delivery. If
you are interested in obtaining an urn off-the-shelf please contact the artist. Photos will be emailed to you for your
consideration.
To design a custom urn to your
specifications, a Design Consultation is held with the client. Each urn is then individually created to the
specifications of the client, including style, size, color, type of leaf and
inscription (if applicable). The
consultation can be done in person or via telephone. After the initial conversation, she takes a
few days to come up with the final design.
Designs come to her in her dreams.
There is a second consultation for final approval. Delivery can be expected in about 2 to 4
months after you have chosen the Forever Homeä urn. Thank
you for visiting my web site. I would be
honored to assist you.

TESTIMONIALS
Names
Withheld for Respect
I Flew from Ohio and rented a car to have
a personal consultation. I am so happy
to have found an artist able to create an absolutely wonderful urn for my
husband. Thank you so much for your vision for his urn. It reflects his love of
nature perfectly.
I can’t begin to tell you how many friends
have appreciated the urn you created, and the gorgeous centerpiece bowl.
I have received the urn and love
it. I have it in a place of honor.
I was totally amazed at the uniqueness
and beauty of my sister’s urn when it arrived.
She saw the urn on your web site and insisted we contact you immediately
to see if it was available. She passed peacefully 2 hours after seeing her new
home. Thank you for shipping it immediately. The cremation urn you made will be
a meaningful resting place for my dog’s ashes.
I just can't thank you enough for doing
this for us. I've not wanted to
"settle" for anything ordinary because she wasn't -- I just knew I'd
know what was perfect when I found it.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
for doing this for us and for her. Your pottery is beautiful. I am interested in a cremation urn. My husband died recently and I want to
purchase a container to hold his ashes that would do justice to him. He was a unique man and traditional urns are
just not making it for me. Someone once
told me that there is no such thing as a coincidence. I believe I was supposed to come upon your
web page. Thank you for being
there. My husband will have a beautiful
urn. He would approve. It was very nice talking with you
tonight. I appreciate you taking time
with me. The urn is a perfect tribute to
my husband.
My Mom cried when she received the
beautiful urn you made for our Dad. It
is totally unique and beautiful and so fitting for a man who loved the out of
doors and spent so much time in his woods.
Thank you so much for doing this for our family. We will treasure it always.
From the Executor of an estate: My
client has collected your White Oak Leaf pottery for years. He passed last month and was cremated. He has directed me to order 3 of your
signature white oak urns in blue for his ashes, one for each of his daughters
who are sharing his extensive collection.
I have been waiting for 4 years to find
the perfect small remembrance urn for my wonderful, quirky husband. I have scattered most of him in his favorite
places and the urn you created for the little bit remaining of his ashes was
perfect. The Burr Oak Leaf and Bark design
fit his personality perfectly. It is
just the right size for my bed stand.
Our dogs always slept with us. Now they still do, but on the night table, in
the urns you created for each of them. The
cattails and dragonflies and the maple leaves are perfect. Thank you so much for understanding our loss
and helping to make it a bit easier.
Just wanted to say thanks again for all you have done. I will make it short and sweet or else I will
be crying in no time.
The cremation you made will be a
meaningful place for my dog’s ashes.
I have been wanting to send you photos
of the wonderful cat urn you made. She
was a treasured and well cared for cat and now she is resting in a place of honor
in our living room. I can look at the
beautiful piece of art and smile, knowing that she would love it because she
loved boxes and catnip. We will always cherish
this and be reminded of your kindness.
