Raven was sent by the creator of the universe, to redesign the earth after the first great ice age of cleansing. After Mother Earth added the foliage, Raven made all the new animals big and small. Then lastly, he made a Spirit Bear — a symbolic gift of peace and harmony to all creatures of the earth.
Inspired by this story, Spirit Bear Coffee Company was born.

The calming and peaceful experience the clay gives me while I’m working completely consumes me. Feeling deeply engaged in what is transforming, what I feel becomes part of the piece. The sensation of turning mud to masterpiece, in whatever that may look like, intrigues me, and ignites the passion I have for pottery.
