When Bridget Sisson's beloved mum Barbara died in October 2023, she wanted to keep her ashes close in a beautiful vessel.

But she couldn't find anything that she felt resembled her: simple, stylish, and slightly unpredictable.

Just at that time, she met the ceramicist Craig Spencer - and the idea for Vaso crystalised.

They've collaborated on a range of hand crafted cremation urns for loved ones - both human and pet.

Each is unique and she hopes to work with different local artists on limited edition runs. Bridget joins Kathryn to talk about where heart meets art.
