Hi, I’m Ashasana (Ashley)

I’m the hands and heart behind Aikyam Alchemy, a soul-led art business based in Alberta. Aikyam, which means “oneness” or “union,” reflects the connection I strive to cultivate—between clay and creativity, art and purpose, and the sacred bond between people and the pieces they invite into their lives. Pottery, for me, is more than just an art form; it’s a sacred alchemy. The process of turning raw mud into divine vessels is a deeply spiritual act—one that mirrors our own journey of transformation in this lifetime. Just as clay is shaped, fired, and refined into something resilient and beautiful, we too are molded by life’s experiences, emerging stronger and more aligned with our essence. My pieces are created with this intention, designed to inspire connection, reflection, and purpose in the everyday.

This passion for ceremony extends beyond my pottery to my handcrafted ceremonial candles. Each candle is lovingly made with your well-being in mind, to spark a sense of ritual and sacredness in even the simplest moments. Whether it’s lighting a candle at dawn, sipping tea from a handcrafted mug, or sharing a meal served in a handmade bowl, my work is meant to create ceremony among the mundane—elevating ordinary experiences into exceptional opportunities for mindfulness and connection. Beyond my work with clay, I’m deeply inspired by spirituality, human consciousness, and the power of community. Aikyam Alchemy is more than a business; it’s a space for connection and shared growth.

Thank you for supporting this dream of mine. Whether you’re here to browse, purchase, or simply be inspired, I’m honored to be part of your journey.
