5 out of 5 starsIf you are considering purchasing one of these creations, you should know that this is not your average shop. PattyMara is much more than a fine artist, she is also a wise healer of deep integrity. I was searching for the unfathomable; an urn for my son’s ashes. PattyMara turned this experience into one of healing. With her wholeness and knowing, she created a unique vessel for us. When the package arrived, I was afraid to open it. But when I did, inside I found the kindest, warmest and most thoughtful arrangement of her poems, creations and the earthen vessel. Do yourself a favor and have this experience of working with PattyMara. I suspect you will grow from it. There is magic in the place where her hands meet the earth.

5 out of 5 starsWho knew that the words my aching, grieving heart needed would arrive this way? Of course it makes sense that PattyMara delivered them with the urn she created for my son. This is grace, and medicine.

5 out of 5 starsOnly in my dreams could I have imagined the aliveness and care of this wonderful raven pot. It is already being cherished and has taken a seat on our altar. Exquisite.

Raven and Fox Mica Blessing Bowl
PattyMara's Sacred Heart Cafe offers MicaMagic pottery, ceramics & fiber art, made by me for you.
My Sacred Heart Cafe serves "Art to feed the hungry heart": MicaMagic vessels for ceremony and savory cooking and baking. My pottery is both ceremonial & functional~it is healthy for your body & soul. What lights me up and fuels my passion is the glittering micaceous clay of northern New Mexico.
I am crazy good at fulfilling custom requests. I can infuse a blessing & burning bowl with your intentions and prayers. I can help you navigate the difficult journey of Grief to make a cremation urn that reflects your loved ones life and brings you comfort in their absence.
I make color saturated ceramics to celebrate a wedding, anniversary or birthday with a custom inscription or image. I am fond of El Dias de los Muertos, the Days of the Dead, with its dancing skeletons and grinning sugar skulls. Raven, Fox and Owl appear often.
I am crazy good at custom orders. Try me.
My home & studio are perched above the Rio Grande near Taos, New Mexico. Raven, owl, fox and bear live here. I attend river church with devotion and pray with rainbow trout.
I learned to be a potter in the early seventies at UC Santa Cruz and still sign my pots "Patch"- my college nickname. I learn to felt wool when we moved to New Mexico in 2010. CatCaves and messenger bags/purses and mixed media clay/felt sculptures emerge from my fascination with felting. I make real art, and when it's real, art can heal.

Returns and exchange details
Damage and return policy: When your pots arrive please check carefully for any damage during mailing. If you find any damage, take a photograph of both the pot showing the damage and the box I used for shipping it to you. I fully insure all shipping and will file a claim with the photographs you provide.
Mica Clay Cookware and Bakeware Policy:
My policy for if your pot cracks after you begin using it: Sometimes mica clay cookpots and bakeware will crack. My policy is that I will refund or replace within two weeks after the pot is delivered to you.My thinking is that any flaws in the pot caused by me, the potter, will show up within that first two weeks of use. But after fourteen days, you are on your own! Sometimes cracking is caused by operator error such as thermal shock (placing on a hot burner or oven without a slow start on low) or an accidental drop or banging. But after 14 days, you are on your own! Mica cookware and bakeware should last for decades if cared for and used properly.
Payment
Custom orders must be paid for before I make and ship them to you. See additional information below about custom orders.
Shipping
Additional policies and FAQs
I make all of my art, with no helpers, therefore modified wholesale arrangements are possible if time permits. I can offer a 20 - 40% discount based on quantity ordered. However, I'd love to hear from you and will do what I can to fill your request.
CUSTOM ORDERS
I have over forty years of experience making custom orders for individuals and nonprofit/corporate clients.
The process for ordering a custom item is:
1. You contact me, and we talk about what you are envisioning. I can let you know what is possible, and will strive to create your heart's desire.
2. We work together to create a design agreement which specifies the colors, design imagery, size, due date, cost, shipping. When we have come to an understanding about this design agreement, I will list a custom order in my shop just for you.
3. You place the custom order listing in your cart and send payment.
4. When I receive a notice that you have completed the payment transaction, I will begin the order and send it to you before or by the due date, as we agreed.
5. If you are not satisfied with the final art, talk to me. I will do whatever I can to assure your satisfaction, unless it involves something different from our design agreement. My customers in the past have been very happy, even ecstatic, about their custom orders, so I have great confidence that I can include you in that happy group.
