An Evolving Creative Life

I recently started bringing air-dry clay sculpting into my work. I have always had a fascination with pottery. Something about working with earth elements in my hands (soil, stones, clay) feels so calming, grounding and primal.

I have had a dream for a long time of creating with a pottery wheel and kiln. I own many pieces of pottery from other potters. Last week an opportunity came to me that I do feel was a divine nudge. A potter acquaintance contacted me out of the blue and told me she was retiring and wondering if I was interested in purchasing a complete pottery workshop setup (plus more). I went yesterday and in two loads, my garage is full of pottery equipment!

I am so excited to get started! I will be setting up my workspace this summer. I am feeling completely overwhelmed but I do still hold that vision for myself of creating beautiful pottery. I have a ton to learn but am excited about this next step!

In my own experience, creativity does not really start and end. It is a constant flow. Sometimes fast like a rumbling river and sometimes trickling like a natural spring. I have moved through many creative endevours including painting, sketching, wood working, beeswax wraps, sewing, etc. They were all so worth it! I feel this next step into pottery will be me bridging my life path coaching with clay sculpting for healing and growth. I am excited to help people in this way as I bring the meditative experience of pottery into the world of personal development.

How are you keeping your creative spirit meandering down the river?
