Several weeks ago, my friends Donna and Sandra and I took a pottery class at Light N Up in Havana, Florida. It was the most enjoyable afternoon I’ve had in many years. There’s something about creating with your hands that puts your soul at peace.
We each made 4 or 5 pieces by hand (no wheel- that’s for another day) with the assistance of our teacher, Terri Lantz. I wasn’t sure my pieces were worth the time and effort – they looked very childlike and rustic. Terri fired all our “beautiful” works of art and we scheduled a time for the “glazing.” My rough pieces of clay experienced a transition once they were glazed and fired for the second time – I was truly amazed.
