Polaris the Bear combines the magic of raku with the feeling of first snow on a starry night: crisp air, soft light, and that moment winter asks you to slow down.

A small reminder to breathe, wander, and let the season settle in, for soon spring will come.

6 raku vases in a grid with a white background in two rows of three. There is a vase name in black text under each image, from left to, to right bottom, the names are Lagoon Nebula, Draconis, Skyfire, Pinwheel, Persueus'Cloud, Tethy's Tide.

A closeup of 3 vases glowing in the reduction firing of the raku process.

The world feels very unsettled, and art isn’t always the priority in these trying times. Even so, I'm here and keep on making.

These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku vessels available now. A share or like to help them find their people would mean a great deal. 🙏

Forged from stars, in fire’s glow,
Cosmic whispers softly flow.
Silent watcher, wise and true,
Made of stardust, just like you.

'Intergalactic Owl' whispers of our origins, guiding us to embrace the wisdom within and soar toward the infinite mysteries of the universe.

Black and white image of some tall grass plants that are blooming. Their blooms are like long, thin brushes and are white. The sun is backlighting them, so they positively glow against the dark mountains in the background. Between the grass and mountains are rolling hills spotted with oak trees.
