Raku Heart Rattle

J. Davis Studio

Our small ceramics studio is located in Alpine, TX, close to Big Bend National Park, an isolated and rugged area in the middle of the vast and peaceful Chihuahuan Desert, and near the mysterious Marfa Lights. There’s arguably a unique energy springing from our under-populated and far flung part of the world. The vast and desolate landscape has a curious way of reinforcing faith, dredging up unknown inner strength, and sparking a deep appreciation of even the smallest things in life.

This feeling is a gift that may be captured inside the thin shell of each handmade innerSpirit Rattle. Perhaps it’s an aura that seeps in, or a sticky essence picked up while being made one-by-one in a land once inhabited by American Indians and the African American Buffalo soldiers.

Shaking one of these rattles produces calming sense of peace by clearing the clutter in your head, creating natural mindfulness of the present moment, and generating a worry-free mind FULL of energizing gratitude.
