Ceramics connects me to the earth. Ceramics connects me to my sensual self. It’s meditative in its repetition, in its demand for patience. It is a practice in non-attachment and in letting go of the outcome. It teaches to let go of perfection. The way it reminds me of being a little girl playing in mud, reminds me of that freedom, that playfulness. Ceramics is more than an art-form, more than a way to express myself, to explore myself, more than a way to create conversation, ceramics is a teacher.
