STUDIO OF ANGELA TIER
You have come to the right place for a meaningful handcrafted urn, keepsake, glass pendant or an original piece of art!
Angela creates guardian urns and keepsakes for the ashes of your loved one or alternatively used as memorial sculpture after scattering. Angela was inspired to make these after losing friends and family and being uninspired by the choices presented to her. "None of these speak to me of their spirit" so she began making individual pieces as commissions. Angela uses coils of clay stacked on top of each other to create the guardian vessel. "It is a very old technique and I was originally inspired by Egyptian Canopic jars". The care taken in handcrafting each piece using the coil method is her passion!
Angela encourages you to get in touch if you would like a specific urn or keepsake as commissions are welcome.

Angela Tier is also a visual artist who works with clay, photography and creates installation art as well as her beautiful ceramic urns. She looks at our relationship with nature and with each other and within ourselves. She investigates the delicate balance of those relationships as well as human impact on the eco system. In her artwork below titled Bad Science? she is asking whether it is ok for man to play God when it comes to genetically modifying rats to save other species, is it cruel or humane, are we opening Pandora's Box?
