One Turn at a Time.
There is first time for everything. Erik and I both experienced the art of building something out of a chunk of clay. It was not just fun but extremely precious learning experience. Erik was quite meticulous and patient. He was also SO INTO it. Two hours went by very quickly while learning to pinch just right, mold just right. or squeeze or roll just right! We had an excellent master potter who pretty much gave us a private instructions for the entire time. His teaching ability was also exceptional. Erik turned the wheel slowly smoothing the edge or attempting to even out the shape. I could not help but thinking about the imagery of how each of us sits on the wheel and molded day by day,,,,, one turn at a time.
