Quiet moments in the studio are necessary for my mental health. Meditations over ceramic forms get me through.
Here is a shot of an #amazigh #jug in progress.

When I get incredibly stressed out, I start imaging the next pots I plan to make. I think of how I’ll pull the walls and shape them, whether I’ll carve or slip or glaze it. And then I’ll often sketch it all out. This grounds me.
Any other mind palace potters out there?

I often find the tea sets I’ve made scattered on the floor with some stuffies, and it’s pretty clear that someone’s been having a little tea party - but I’ve never actually caught one of her secret tea parties until today. Super cute ☺️
