Pottery as tea utensils
|
PotteryThere are several reasons why I love pottery. One of them is the silky texture of clay that would cool down the heat in my palm which makes me feel relaxed. The second is the mysterious transformation of pottery by going through firing--from the smooth soft materials to solid bodies. The third is the fact that it can sometimes lead to a meditation state by concentration on throwing pots. It is actually the best way to get rid of other thoughts. The most thrilling part of the whole pottery's process is opening a
kiln.
Because of these reasons, the more I am into pottery, the more fascinated I become by it, so that I would never be able to stop making pottery. |
