Intentionally infused, created by hand from the minerals of the earth, these pieces hold specific purpose to support your personal healing, ceremonial work, and ritual practices. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and tend to find homes before they make it to this space, often even before completion! Following our Instagram or watching the "In the Works" feed at the bottom of this page will keep you connected to the creation process and latest completions. If something is calling to you, please don't hesitate to let us know. Some commissions may be considered. If you need a piece tailored to You and the medicinal quality that you seek, please use the Commission Request form below. There is a waiting list and each piece takes many weeks to months for completion, but much like any good brew, stew, or soup; slow-cooking makes for rich deliciousness to savour!

The Holly King & Oak King set
Autumn seems a fine time for this set to have completed and now find their adoptive home, for the Holly King is taking up rule of these darker seasons while the Oak King takes his leave until resurgence with the Sun come Spring. For those of us who do, or want to, work closely with the life/death/rebirth cycle, those who ebb and flow with the seasons into fullness and fallow times, those who embrace duality, balance, or feel battles of light and dark, or hold more kindship with a masculine version of An Cailleach and Brigid's ever turning wheel of vitality and decay...this cup and bowl have the ogham of Holly and Oak together, inscribed twice directly across the circle from each other in a nod to their meeting and exchange of power to rule at Equinoxes and the balance this brings to the world. The mug holds 1 cup of drink, good for strong home brews or hot beverages for slow drinkers (like me) while the bowl is closer to 1.5 cups of soup, more of course if piled potatoes or mounds of bread pudding.

Mushroom Fae House
In some places and with some people, tending to the wee folk is as usual as washing laundry or reading the newspaper. Observances are kept, offerings made, careful words minded, and importantly ~ consultations before any sort of building occurs. Intrinsic in this is the recognition that we who are humaning would do better when in right relationship with the creatures around us, both seen and unseen. Chances are high, particularly with lineages from northern countries, that your forebearers had their own way keeping with the Good Neighbours, a partnership of sorts. Perhaps you do too, or perhaps it is something your family lost and is waiting to be reanimated once again. This Fae House comes ready to fit your tea light, faerie lights, can be wired for a lamp, or stand alone without illumination. This is another collaborative work between myself and Kimmy Faerie and so your adoption fee supports 2 artists! |

Incense Burner for ocean lovin' folk
Barnacles have loonnnng fascinated me with their doors shut tight for great stretches of time while the tide is out and the Sun is hot. Tough against intruders and the curious, seeming to only come alive to the very patient, the very still, once the water is again at their door. If you have ever seen their delicate feathery fronds slip out quick for a fast feast ~ you know there is a sort of magic or fae propaganda afoot. Ships anchors with well made strong ropes give assurance for holding fast against the life storms that we navigate or brace against. In the still times, they invite us to rest and float in safety. Essential qualities during times we are most in need of support. These are a limited family line. While more incense burners of all kinds will come through, these sculpted pieces are a bit of a labour of love ~ if you know what I mean. * Only the longer is still available |

Ceremonial Plate
I often speak of living with a feel for touching in on the ebb and flow that is naturally present as a map of sorts to follow while we move through a day, a month, a year, a breath, a lifetime… These Summertime days invites the world alive at its fullest expression, with trees bearing their ripest fruits, bears lolling in grasses all gorged and satisfied, berries plump on their vines. Birds fill the air with song, snakes bask in the Sun. There is a sensuality to it all. The map route has walked us away from tucking up quietly dreaming and withdrawn during long dark nights and toward living life right down to our fingertips, and perhaps this year, it is an extra important balm. It is active engagement with living. It is remedy from dissociative tendencies of isolation and hyper-alert chaos cacophony. It is a slow, full embodiment of being Here and Now. Creating opportunity to relish in our senses is good medicine. Wrapping and nesting in fabrics that feel delicious. Relishing the sound of your lover’s voice. Fragrant flowers brought to the table. Beauty making in the spaces we are in, nothing fancy per se, more simply, arrangements that bring a pleasing thrill through our entire body. And taste! Savouring a pungent nibble of fresh herbs in salad, the nuanced flavours of favourite bread, how nutty can be comforting and zingy more invigorating. Perhaps not for every meal, but at least some of the time, our relationship with eating can become ceremonial, medicinal, sacred eye candy and soul food both. Perhaps a handmade, rustic, cottage core plate becomes part of your living a season of senses, part of finding presence, part of embodying the full creatura that you are ~ one that delights and relishes. This plate is made of luscious coffee clay and is ready for adoption. |

Illuminated Forest ~ Porcelain Luminary Candle Lantern
Long winter nights cozied and softened by the light of porcelain lanterns brings together the cottagecore feel that many of us long for. Forest scenes and illuminated mandalas bring a sense of stories waiting to be told and a calm centering amid storming weather. I'm in love with the idea of such lights on a Winter Solstice altar or comforting during power outtages. Tealight candle included.

Pán Bowl
Rowdy, raucous, randy Pán, lustful seducer of nymphs, wise prophet, and desired friend of shepherds and hunters both. Worshipped in dark caves or the dank forest floor where the most wildest things are. After 2 months in process this fella, appropriately dipped in Randy's Red glaze with an underglazed nod to usual his phallic accompaniment, is finally Done. This Old God is ready for dark wild nights full of sweaty dancing to reed pipes, perhaps filled with water for Scrying, or the stuff of hooved men that I'm not really meant to know about. He let me measure him so I can let you know that he is 3.5" tall and just under 6" across. I can tell he would not like an "adoption fee" but rather goblin market barter style for cold hard cash and a piece of bread from the pocket of a wanderer. If he is meant to come be with you, $50 Canadian might satisfy but send your best bread recipe too to be safe

Lover's Sharing Cups
These wheel thrown, hand carved cups are intended to invoke and celebrate the beauty and medicine of balanced exchange, joy filled sharing, and healthy dynamics of mutual care and support within partnerships. I've been calling them Lover's Sharing Cups but really could apply to other deep friendships or close community. Norse runes have been inscribed on each side of these cups with the vision of two people holding at the same time, hands over hands, able to each sip in turn. Perfect for handfasting, weddings, commitment ceremonies, or to keep this medicinal energy present and close in awareness within established relationships. Suitable too for solo hearts inviting a general energy of ease with joy and love sharing to radiate outward from and be open to receive more of. I can also see these cups passing from hand to hand around a sacred fire before storytelling, within medicine circles, or other relationships of safe trusting mutual support. There are 6 ready for homing. A few are made with a naturally rich chocolatey coloured "coffee" clay. A couple nest well with another should someone wish to home a pair together. Adoption fee is $35 Canadian or $60 for a nesting pair + shipping. * Only 2 brown cups remain |

These four wheel thrown bowls nest together with two at approximately 5"x3" and two at 4"x2".

Intentional Beeswax Tree Candle #1
At dusk, when the light is just right, and you let your gaze over the treetops soften, there is a glow. An aura. The light life force emanating from our standing friends. These tumblers in warm sage green remind me of that. I have long seen auras around people, objects, plants, animals... and while not everyone has looked in this way, those I have stood among trees with at dusk and offered this invitation, have. If you find yourself in the right place, at the right time, away from bright city lights with even just one tree, I invite you ~ try it! This tumbler will become a beeswax candle poured with an intention of your choice: Return to Self, Inspiration, Release/Purge/Clear, or Personal Sovereignty. Please let me know your choice by including a message with your order by using the Commission Request form below Each of these pieces are approximately 3"x3" |

Flown from the nest
A sweet reflection on some favourite pieces that have traveled from our hearth out into the great wide world. While some stay close and live here on the Upper Sunshine Coast, others have traveled to destinations across the Canada, into the US and across the pond to the United Kingdom. It warms my heart to know each is supporting sacred work, helping to heal, or being used ritually ~ either in quietly personal ways or in grander community ceremony. Everything from healing relationships to food one cereal bowl at a time to offering plates at large Solstice gatherings. From incorporating a spirit animal into one's spiritual practice to reclaiming cultural practices. |

* Care & Handling of your Pottery *
While your Selkie Sanctuary food intended dishes will be made with durable stoneware and tested for functionality prior to shipping, there are certain "best practices" to help ensure the longevity of any handmade ceramic pieces.
a) Prewarming any special cup or mug under warm water prior to filling it with boiling water is always recommended. Particularly during cold Winters.
b) Handwashing is always preferred over machine, even if your piece is made with durable stoneware or is labeled "dishwasher safe"
c) Use microwaves cautiously. Ensuring any hand made ceramics are thoroughly dry before any microwave use is vital. As a commonality among potters, you will note an area on the bottom of handmade cups, bowls and that is unglazed, this is where moisture can sometimes be absorbed, particularly if made with low fired earthenware clay. Absorbed moisture can cause breakage with microwave use. I will only ever send you mid fire stoneware vessels which * should * be microwave safe, but hey, this is a list of best practices. If you love a piece, you will want to treat it extra fine :)
d) Ceramics, much like anything, is subject to wear and tear with use. This means your cup may survive plenty of bonks in the sink for months, but one day a small tap causes a chip or broken handle. This generally is not a fault of your potter. Small unseen can fractures happen with normal use then tend to make themselves known rather suddenly. Typically with any ceramics, handmade or factory, it is not recommended to use for food or drink if there is a crack or chip where food or mouths touch.
e) Like all dishes, always wash your wares thoroughly. Particular attention should be paid to any engravings, or textured and sculpted areas.
