A grad student threw my urns for the last 3 years to help fast track my progress. This is how we transported them to my studio so I could carve! 😅

The Karner Blue Butterfly keeps drawing me in—its colors shift by gender, and it adores the lupine flower, which I had to include. The background swirls and swoops, capturing its delicate flight. What’s your favorite endangered butterfly?

That’s some good company! I liked the postcard phase, what else goes on the fridge.
What a pal!
What a fabulous resource!!
Thanks for the note Angela. Some of those post cards hung around! Sometimes I still see them. Hope you have a satisfying and delightful studio practice.❤️
Every urn I carve tells the story of an endangered species, making the unseen, seen. This video dives into why I do it, what it means, and the impact I hope it has. If this resonates with you, tag your friends or reshare to help spread awareness. 🦋🐢🦤

Awww, very dear❤️
Sweet pup! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Ohhhhhh, look at that cutie!!!
Meet Stella, my studio pup. She makes sure I don’t get lost in carving by demanding regular ball-throwing breaks, forcing me outside and into fresh air. She keeps me grounded, and honestly, the studio wouldn't be the same without her.
Who has a four-legged coworker keeping them in check?
Each week, I’ll share an urn and the story of an endangered species I’ve carved. First up: Contra Costa goldfields, a rare Bay Area wildflower. Thanks to grazing cattle, they’re making a hopeful return. Have you spotted these golden blooms in California? 🌼

Making urns for each species in the US – whether endangered, threatened, recovered, or extinct. It’s a journey of 1100 pots, a mix of emotions from overwhelming to inspiring. Yet, there’s a sense of purpose and growth. Sharing ideas, building skills, and making an impact within my community.
Ohhh I love these plates!!!
These are beautiful!
Thanks!!!
Thsnks Angela! You to!!
I am a potter, not a scientist, but I am using my craft to bring attention to endangered species. This project began with a question: "How can I use my skills to raise awareness and spark change?"
So, I am carving a burial urn for each endangered species in the continental US.
Follow for more! 🦋
I love this! Bringing awareness to the little ones. I wish I could!
