He's not in a hurry, and he knows it. This little tortoise carries his whole world on his back; a shell built from dozens of hand-rolled clay bubbles, each one pressed and textured by hand, glazed in warm honey and olive tones that shift in the light. His stubby legs are mid-plod, his face utterly unbothered. He's the energy of someone who always arrives exactly when they mean to.
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.
