Ceramics and Healing

Working with clay is a centering, mystical and transformative experience for me. All my pieces are made with loving reverence and they transform a part of Mother Earth into a vessel of love, nourishing each user's body and soul.
Hand-crafted ceramics bring me back to the Earth. When I touch, form and hold her, I feel her love nurturing us.
I recently created two lines of utilitarian and decorative stoneware, "Tierra" and "Mar" (Earth and Sea.) Included were plates, bowls, center pieces, mugs and cups--a physical manifestation of love transmitted through me. The "Mar" line is a painted wave design using slips and oxides with brush strokes from the Japanese painting technique, Sum-i. With the "Tierra" line, I textured the outside of wheel-thrown and slab-built pieces with a piece of coral I found in Maui, Hawaii. Some of the textured pieces feature my signature lizard design. As I texture each piece I infuse it with healing energy from my heart. My Sufi teacher first explained this idea to me many years ago and my work in Sat Nam Rasayan ® has made me more effective at it.
