Ontology Clay I’m Aaron Geringer, by day I work as a mental health therapist, much of my time outside of work revolves around pottery.

Ontology, the branch of philosophy that studies being and existence, resonates with me in both my profession and my artistic work.

A special round jar for a special round boy. A few weeks ago my sister and brother-in-law had to say goodbye to their cat, Finn. Finn was such a good boy. He was BIG, handsome, sweet, and loved strong butt pats. I was always particularly touched by the way he would often wait by the door for his father to return home. Making an urn felt like a meaningful way to honor how much joy he brought into the lives of people I love. ❤️

Did you know that the name dandelion came from the old French, dent-de-lion (meaning “lion’s tooth”)? The name was inspired by the jagged edges of the leaves, that almost look like teeth.
