Glazed in deep amber and rich earthy tones, this tortoise looks like he crawled out of an ancient forest floor and decided your bookshelf was close enough. His shell is built from dozens of hand-rolled clay bubbles, each one pressed and textured by hand, catching the light differently from every angle. His legs are mid-stride. He is going somewhere. Slowly. On his own terms.
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.
