Artist: Caro Gates

Hand-built by Caro Gates, the Pod Series is a collection of biophilic ceramic cremation urns inspired by the organic forms found in plants, science, and the human body. Each piece in the series possesses its own distinct character and is designed to serve as a companion vessel, symbolising a deep appreciation for life, nature, and transformation.

Pod 11 features a tall, tapering body paired with a sculpted lid patterned with fine, rhythmic impressions that radiate like the surface of a seed or flower head. The dark clay finish and subtle shifts in tone enhance its quiet, meditative presence. Ethereal and shrine-like, it offers a meaningful way to hold ashes, honour a loved one, and celebrate the enduring beauty of the natural world.

Caro Gates

Caro Gates lives and works in South East London, where she was born in 1984. She first discovered ceramics while studying graphic design at Camberwell College of Arts, and later returned to the medium after years in illustration and design.

Her work explores the relationship between the organic and the manmade, inspired by how nature is honoured across cultures, histories, and myths. While her wider practice focuses on sculptural ceramics, the pieces featured here reflect her distinctive approach to form and texture, offering a poetic take on ceramic urns, memorial vessels, and handmade objects of remembrance.
