What service/Value am I providing? 

I have a mission and calling to serve people with my creative ability. I help you memorialize your loved ones by giving them a special resting place that you helped create for them. I find this helps my clients bring peace to their minds. If your loved one had a special tattoo or a design theme they related to I would be honored to create something very special and totally personal. Before I start the process of creating each piece I ask for a picture and a little story about their lives and who they were so I can think about that person as I create.

Mission Statement:
 
I want to bring peace and comfort to people grieving. Why:  I take a great amount of personal care and reverence when preparing a cremation urn for a loved one. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to be the one that prepares for the spirit's final resting place. I want the person’s spirit to be in peace and be happy with what I create for them. I often ask for a picture of the loved one so that I can somehow connect with them as I go through the process of creating their final resting place so that they will approve of the piece. 
 
I am the first artist to use a tattoo machine to carve with on ceramics! I specialize in custom one-of-a-kind memorial urns. I can carve and tattoo pretty much any design just like a tattoo artist would do onto ceramics. Many people don’t realize that 60% of tattoos that people get are “Memorial Tattoos”. If you have a tattoo design that reminds you of your loved one that you want me to tattoo on a custom cremation urn please Contact me:  Matt – tootallspottery@gmail.com
Or call:  805-975-7521

"My Mom, Theresa, was my best friend and the person I talked to most of my adult life every day. I can remember when she, my Dad, and my sibling moved to Arkansas, I ended up with the biggest telephone bill. I got into so much trouble over that bill. It was over $500.00! It was hard being away from family - I was 21 years old. She was there when my babies were born and I decided to go back to college. I still want to pick up my phone to hear her on the other line. My Mom is missed by me and my three children. The last few months were hard on us all. She died not being able to say goodbye to us.  She spent almost a month in ICU. I had just talked to her the night before she slipped into a coma where she stayed for 3 weeks before she went to stay with the Angels. My Mom loved everyone she met which was not always the best thing, but that was my Mom. We lost Dad 3 years before Mom, so they are together again. I will forever miss my Mom."
