The practice of memento mori– acting on the Latin phrase that translates to “remember we must die,” has the profound potential to wake us up and breathe more life into our lives.

It’s a reminder that each day is a gift and to live life to the fullest for in the end time is fleeting. 

Use with hammer, press or clay

All steel impressions can be used in a hydraulic press, with all types of clay from metal clay to polymer, potters also use the impression to add texture and imagery to their work. Hammer and foil method can be used and requires only a hammer and pusher (plus torch to anneal your metal), if you are new to this technique feel free to message me with any questions.
