Look at the world through the eyes of an artist:
The calming effect;
As clay is thrown on the wheel, the clay platelets slide over each other. It’s an extraordinary sensation to have a solid form that expands or contracts between your fingers. The slippery beauty of clay is quite addictive.
It is a reasonably physical hobby. Bags of clay weight 12.5 kg, so just lifting those around is a mini-workout. The kneading of clay and upward pulls on the wheel all get the muscles going
Even if a design is to be made repeatedly there are subtle differences between each piece. Every piece of handmade pottery is genuinely unique – that’s why I love it.
After cooking meat, baking clay was the first thing that humans did to chemically alter our environment on purpose. It’s a romantic notion to think of someone digging up my pottery in a few thousand years
love of clay – and the power of touch.
