Claying in our hillside garden

What a lovely way to start the new year - with my hands in clay, in the sweet fresh air of our hillside garden!

Big thanks to my teacher Kim for making this possible. I'm loving the opportunity to be mindful about the whole process of throwing a vessel - preparing a space, setting up the right atmosphere to work, taking time with the actual processes of wedging, centring, pulling and finishing and taking care with all the materials including recycling both water and clay.

Hoping that with a good start to my ceramics year like this, there will be something to good coming out of the studio as the months go by!
