on pottery, writing, and smashing plates

[sabine]

I sometimes have the audacity to call myself a "potter". I've been doing it on and off for a couple of years now, and have gotten to the point where I can usually make whatever form I want. Some still elude me. But that's not the point.

The point is that ursulav wrote an amazing essay about what she has learned from years of ceramic, art, and writing experience. If you practice any of those three, go read the piece now. You will nod, smile, and then look around for a plate to smash. I have some bowls that will do the trick nicely.
