What is it about pottery ?

It is the process which teaches you life.

Being Born When you start with just a block of clay, which is very much earthy, it keeps you grounded.

Growing

When you wedge it with your hands removing the air sockets making it perfect for it to be shaped, making you prepare with all that life has to surprise one with.

Testing When you throw the clay on the wheel, and try pulling it up. You are testing your skills acquired. There are skills and techniques that either work or do not.

Learning
