There are many plants which are of great importance to the Interior & Coast Salish Peoples of the Pacific Northwest and Patrick's roots vases reflect the vital role these plants play in the continuity of intangible and tangible cultural practices such as: canoe building, carving, weaving, saq̓úta (singing and dancing), medicine making and Indigenous Food Systems.

This small bowl has a stunning, bright interior and a roots design on the exterior, hand carved into its bold black surface in Patrick's signature style, making it a great addition to any home.

Plants are often viewed as relatives by many First Nations communities; and are respected as holders of knowledge and skills that teach us how to live well within biologically complex and ever changing landscapes. Read More….

St’át’imc First Nation, T’ít’q’et, P’egpig’7lha (Frog) Clan / Snuneymuxw First Nation

Unceded, Ancestral & Traditional Territories of the Snuneymuxw & St̓át̓imc First Nations. Pacific Northwest

St’át’imc First Nation artist and ceramicist Patrick Leach is well known across the Pacific Northwest for his uniquely carved ceramics that reflect St’át’imc & Snuneymuxw territory landscapes, cultural practices such as dip-net fishing and traditional basketry, and designs inspired by ancient rock paintings.

Patrick’s ceramics feature distinctive bold black bodies, with finely sgraffitoed designs, cloud-like interior glazes and striking bands of colour reminiscent of Interior & Coast Salish woven baskets and formline styles. His ceramics are of particular interest across North America as he is one of the only established First Nations potters working in the Pacific Northwest.
