Through working with clay, teaching ceramics, and collaging with friends, I have seen the benefits of crafting and working with our hands.

In 2024 during my artist residency I created a collective ritual for grief using craft to bring people together and create space to share. The ritual took shape through ceramics workshops, culminating in a beachfront smoke firing. We made individual and collective pots and sculptures. The results can be seen here.

In 2026 I am making space within my studio and online to host rituals for grief, shaped by the process of making art again.
