clay

ai don't know what it is about clay art. i love it. i'm drawn to it. it's what i buy at every art fair i attend. i live in a 1000 square foot house. i am running out of room for my obsession.

i took a pottery class a few years ago. i can't believe the strength and aptitude it takes to throw clay on a wheel. i honestly didn't have the upper body strength. the best i could muster was a few tree tiles that i have hanging in my living room. these didn't require the wheel!:












A few of my favorite purchases over the last two years:

It seems to me that there's something inherently tactile about clay. Almost as if the person experiencing the art had a hand in creating it. That's one reason I love it too.
