Ceremonial Vessels / Burial Urns
The ceremonial vessels/burial urns are one of a kind and have
been made with much thought. care and love.
There are many ways they can be used to honour and mark a
special occasion in life, for example, a birth of a son or daughter.
Family relatives and friends may wish to write a thought, a poem,
or a message of love for the child, which can be kept inside the
vessel. Throughout the person's life, on important occasions such
as "coming of age", a graduation from school or college, a
marriage, a 50th birthday, an anniversary, a retirement and finally
a death. More words or memories may be put inside the vessel.
These works of art may be used for a sweat lodge. or a spiritual
Gathering, to be filled with herbs, healing words and thoughts.
The vessels are made from natural materials and may be burnt in
a ceremonial fire, buried in the ground, submerged in a large body
of water, or because of their unique purpose, they may be kept in
a place of honour in someone's home.

Wedding Vessels / Ceremonial Vessels $450.00 Vows, or words of love, are placed inside the wedding vessels, or ceremonial vessels. I sculpt the vessels in clay then make a mold, which I cover in handmade paper made from abaca pulp, dyed with pigments. I use layers of chalk pastels on the surface. The rim of the vessels and the lids are woven with cord wrapped in threads. I fasten the lid to the base with semi precious stones and braided threads. The vessels come in a variety of colours. 6 inches high x 13 inches in circumference.
