Inside your gift
Thank you for your support of The Weavers Studio! Please see below for information on your items, their sustainable and natural ingredients, and how to use and care for them.
Cookware
Caring for your bram clayware:
Preparing Your Bram/Seasoning: Immerse your pot in water and soak it for 2 hours. Rub your pot with a clove of cut garlic and fill it 3/4 full with water. Place the pot in the oven and turn it on to 225 degrees. Bring the pot up to temperature and leave it in the oven for 2 to 3 hours. Turn the oven off and leave the pot in the oven until its cool. Your pot is now ready to use.
Stovetop & Cooktop Safe: This cookware is both stovetop and oven safe. For gas cooktops, use a heat diffuser or the lowest heat setting. For electric cooktops, please use only with a heat diffuser. With a clay pot, you start the heat LOW, then gradually increase the temperature over the course of 5 minutes or so to where you want it. The highest temperature you should take your pot on a gas stove without a heat diffuser is medium low. With a diffuser, there is a bit more leeway,
Microwave Safe: It is microwave safe, but use on lower settings as it can develop hot spots on high settings which can crack the clay.
Cleaning: Clear ceramic glaze provides ease of cleaning. Just use hot water and a gentle abrasive pad. For difficult areas to clean, first soak for a few minutes in hot water and then scrub. It is not necessary to use detergent and if you do, we recommend a natural, vegetable-based surfactant cleanser.
Dishwasher Safe: It is dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing to give you and your earthenware the best care. Being that clay is a porous material, it may absorb dishwashing detergent which can then leach back into food that comes in contact with it.
Avoiding Extreme Temperature Changes: Earthenware does not like extreme temperature changes. For example, do not take a cold pot from the refrigerator and place it directly on the stovetop or in an extremely hot oven; it may crack.

Selenite and Foraged Organics Wand
The selenite stone received its name from the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene. Known for connecting to the third eye, crown, transpersonal and Etheric chakras, selenite’s healing properties include reaching and activating higher planes. It can also be used to cleanse and amplify the energy of your other stones. The stone is tied with locally foraged organics, and assembled under the heightened power of a full moon by local florists Jasmine Lily and Wild Blume in Bozeman, Montana, and Eothen in Northern California.
Glass Beads
Used in celebrations and festivals, for artistic expression, in spiritual practice, or to denote status, these beautiful glass beads are a gorgeous example of creative recycling. These beads were made by Ghanaian craftsmen and women, who smash old or broken bottles into peppercorn-sized pieces, then heat them in a wood fire and polish them to perfection.
