@l8loomer Pottery taught me that control and surrender aren’t opposites… You press in to shape it… then you have to let it breathe…Too much force and it collapses…. Too little and it has no form…. Idk Life has been feeling a lot like that lately I’ve always been good at controlling everything lol Surrender? Not so much.. but I’m learning #pottery #potterylove #potteryart #ceramics #potterystudio

  2. 2

    The Foundational Act

    The first major interaction with the raw material, showing the initial, forceful step of bringing order to chaos (slamming clay down, centering it) and demonstrating control.

  3. 3

    The Emergent Form
