(3.2cm tall by 5.6cm long) Here is a sweet and gentle rain bear sculpture to help bring some peace and comfort into your days. It feels full of joy and cleansing and life, like the joy of rain after too long without. And this one is extra special because it's actually rain raku! Those little spiderweb patterns in the glaze are where raindrops fell on the sculpture when the glaze was still vitrifying. Natural magic.

This bear statue is made from stoneware clay and has been fired once, glazed, and then raku fired for the amazing gifts of smoke and flame.

A white bear has been a part of my life for many years (along with kitsune, of course!), and I feel honoured to be able to help their spirits — in all colours — manifest in our world.

Through my work, I hope to bring a little nature, peace, gentleness, and spirit to the world. I make all of my pieces entirely by hand with only natural materials.
