Sonya Wilkins
master of fine art ceramics (distinction)
master reiki teacher
my making practise is inspired by the healing power of nature; in particular, the beauty of transitioning trees and earthy, rugged landscape/
the pieces I make are functional and representative of our biophilia (connection to nature). In many ways, my ceramic vessels are conduits for wellbeing and can be used as symbols for grounding, harmony and contemplation in your home/
each vessel is an amulgamation of sensing and experiencing – my time spent in nature, connecting and remembering; foraging wild clays and responding to the wisdom of trees/
as a qualified Reiki Master Teacher I also attune the clay with universal life force energy as I make, raising the resonant frequency of the material and allowing my vessels to become beacons of light and love for their owners and our planet…
