Adcock Studios Cremation Urns

Objects of Beauty and Affirmation

The urns sold on this website are sized to hold an adult’s cremains, and can be sealed with a simple bead of silicon adhesive. If used for a memorial ceremony, where the ashes might be spread, they can later be used as an object of beauty to offer a life affirming remembrance and honoring of the one who has passed. We also create custom urns for beloved four-legged family members, featuring an inlaid photo of the pet.

First, The Urns are Handmade from Stoneware Clay

Our urns are handmade from stoneware clay and fired in a gas kiln using an ancient technique known these days as Sagger firing. The Saggar is a larger lidded container in which the urn is placed before the firing, with various combustible and inert materials packed around the urn.

Later, during the firing, these materials fume and combust, leaving the darker smoky areas around the base, and the lighter pastel and earth tone colorings above.

Finally, They are Inlaid with Floral and Botanical Collages

After the firing, the urns are inlaid with collages of various floral and botanical imagery, overlaid with the skeletal leaves of the Bodhi Tree. The collages are then framed with scorched bamboo.  Should you wish to propose a custom inlay, for a more personal touch, we are open to your suggestions.
