This clay owl is all texture and attitude, feathers built up by hand into a gloriously chaotic tangle of ridges and layers, glazed in warm amber and terracotta that pools and shifts across every surface. His ears spike upward, his expression is somewhere between ancient and deeply unimpressed, and his whole silhouette looks like wisdom that has been through some things and come out the other side still standing. Every bump and ridge is exactly as the artist left it. Nothing smoothed over. Nothing hidden.
Crafted with love by war-affected women in Ukraine, this special creation is a piece to cherish. These artisans have trained in the RPI-funded art therapy program with our Ukrainian partner Odessa Charity Fund "The Way Home". Your purchase supports the women's livelihoods and access to a mental health specialist, as well as art therapy for children who have felt too much fear in their short lives.
