Earth • Sky • Spirit

In clay I don’t just shape a thing,
 I catch the moods the storms might bring.
 A badger’s hush, a fox’s dance,
 a squirrel’s fleeting, moonlit glance.

Not objects, no — but pieces, small,
 of whispers, storms, and nights that call.
 My hands know stories, secret, free…
 long before my head knows me.

From the whimsical to the elemental, every creature carries both joy and depth.

That childlike spark of curiosity never truly leaves us — it waits quietly, hoping to be remembered. Sam’s creatures invite you to reconnect with that part of yourself: the one that still gazes at stars in awe, notices the curl of a root, or smiles at the thought of a fox dreaming.

Each piece is shaped slowly, with love and intention — some playful, others still. Together they whisper about our connection to nature, to each other, and to the elements that hold us: earth, water, air, fire, and the unseen spirit between.
