I am a Celebrant and I am making "Ash Art". Last year I attended Celebrants school and while doing the Funeral paper we visited Funeral homes and being a Potter realises there was very little choice if family wanted to keep the ashes of a loved one, The main choices were a square cardboard box or a oblong cardboard box which usually gets placed in some cupboard somewhere and never sees the light of day again. I started thinking about making pottery urns to give greiving relatives a chioce, an elegant urn that can be placed in a garden, on a deck or inside your home if that is what is wanted. So I started potting, having some failures and a few successes and have come up with a line of urns that seem to be quite acceplable to people who want to keep their loved ones ashes.
