South Western Raku Keepsakes

South Western Raku Keepsakes are hand made through a fascinating process. A ceramic urn is heated in a kiln until it reaches 2000 degrees, then it is pulled out carefully and plunged into a pit of wood shavings, instantly igniting. Overnight the urn will smolder and what is created is a keepsake filled with radiant flashes of color. The potter, the earth and the flames shape the urn, the way life shapes us.

Each South Western Raku Keepsake measures 1 1/2 inches, fit in the palm of your hand, and are 2 cubic inches each. A small plastic bag for cremains and adhesive are included. Each comes in a yellow velvet bag.
