If someone had told me 5 years ago that I'd be a potter today, I wouldn't have believed them. Life is full of surprises too many to name, and this is a great one. I'm also surprised that I began this blog; my goal is to log the adventures of playing with the earth in this way. After all, God is the one who has given me the ability to do this; and it's grace that I am still at it. With that said, I'm all for seeing what surprises of grace are ahead. First, above here's a picture from Holden Village atop one of the chalet porches. It's a place in the middle of nowhere, only accessible by boat. Beautiful beyond words...
Next, here are some of my favorite pieces that I made while there.... these pieces that were probably the turning point in my pottery-making, which was amazing in the midst of all that happened that summer. I still remember the pieces drying outside, as the deer were munching on the grass nearby. The studio there is situated in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I can't wait to return in a month or so. I'll take pics of the studio this time.
Finally, in this first post I must also say thanks to Becky for inviting me to look at her blog and encouraging me to create my own. And then there's Linda who encouraged me to try this wheel throwing in the first place-- about two years ago, while I was in Asheville. Such wise women.
So here goes to tracking the journey of playing with the earth-- what a peaceful, refreshing world of pottery this is! :)
