Losing a pet is a painful experience many have known. When it happens, the decision of how to preserve their memory appropriately is a hard one to make.
Ashes in urns, portraits perched on mantelpieces and planted trees are familiar procedures.
While these methods can help to attain closure, they can’t memorialise the unique personalities that made our pets so precious to us.
Tarina Myburgh is a Cape Town-based ceramicist who receives photographs of clients’ departed pets and masterfully creates authentic ceramic sculptures of them.

Her attention to detail seals the accuracy of the figurines.
Every distinctive mark, unique asymmetry and lopsided ear is meticulously accounted for.

To order a special sculpture you can place an order with Tarina by emailing her your departed pet’s portrait and name.
Tarina’s commissions are popular so there might be a bit of patience needed – after all, each sculpture is handwrought and time is needed for your pet to be captured accurately.
