Ceramic Cremation Urns
A client asked me to create urns for her parents remains. We had a long talk about their interests and passions. I decorated the side panels of each urn with text and images that reflected this conversation. Hand built with stoneware clay, the urns are rectangular in shape with flat bases and lids. The lid drops into the vessel, and was later sealed with a bead of glue. The embellishment on each face was carved into the unfired clay and then stained with a black glaze to highlight the detail. The inside of each piece was glazed in each parent's favorite color, with the matte green on the outside tying the set together.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I create thrown and slab-built stoneware that is grounded on my formal training in Architectural Engineering. Elements of buildings and the materials used to create them continue to fascinate me. My interest in this is continually renewed as I explore the ways in which clay can imitate some of these rich, tactile surfaces. Applying the basic principles of engineering to a medium as malleable as clay is a constant challenge and one that has kept my interest for over 12 years.
My most recent work has used drawings and photographs to create intricate images. Several of my pieces draw influence from recent trips to Chicago, Japan, and the Czech Republic. The surface of each piece is embellished with architectural details, images and found hardware, duplicated from plaster press molds. The clay is glazed with commercial glazes and washes to bring out the surface texture.

For Illustrated Mugs5.0Meghan is AWESOME! She truly makes an effort to get you the product you want and the quality is superb! She made 2 custom mugs for me a while ago and I loved the result. This new project was just for my sister and after seeing the finished product I ordered one for myself! My fist contact with her was when she was in the United States and now even though she has moved out of the country I still sought her out! Great work Meghan!

She made it a really nice collaborative effort which give me a great personal connection to what is ultimately “stuff”. Meghan was easy to work and was clearly interested in doing a great job. She communicated well. I think it was a great value for the piece and the experience of being part of the process. Sincerely, Krista
