Pottery
for use and hope! You gotta have ART and SOUL! As the pandemic began, I
could get myself to make just one thing each day in order to keep in
the moment. It started with little clay elephants and then little clay
castles both of which were detailed little metaphors of my mental
goings on. The little castles brought me back to my childhood fairy
tales and magical places. The little elephants on jars were magically
escaping the corona virus. I’ve been making pottery and teaching art a
long time and am a self taught potter and still learning. Retired from
art teaching, I now work 3 days a week as a “teacher assistant” to
English language learners in a public school district here in Maine.
Being with children is where creativity lives and I need them in my
life. The children I work with gift me and bless me. Find Red Door Pottery on Facebook! |
