Vessels of Home

Is a reliquary of ritual remnants, heirlooms, and queer myth-making; a whimsical shop of handmade objects. You will find mystical ceramics and ritualistic art, rooted in pagan histories, care and everyday magic. Inspired equally by nostalgic fantasy books and mythological folklore. 

Vessels of Home began as an art project, a multimedia installation and research paper, exploring ritual, belonging, and the stories mythical objects carry. Over time, it has evolved into something even slower and more grounded: a shop, but also a space for making meaning in the everyday. A way for crafted ritual objects to be part of daily life, moving from my hands to yours. Taken out of the gallery context and into the comfort of homes.

Each artwork in the shop is made with intention. Ceramics are formed by hand from unique clay bodies, glazed in wondrous tones and fired in my atelier. The elements Earth, Water, Air and Fire come together to shape them, guided by my hands. Working with clay has become a way of tending to life through repetition, attention, and care.

A vessel can be a cup, a body, a place to return to, a home.

Thank you for visiting.

Love,

Rowan
