Raku pottery, vases, and gifts
I am realizing that experiencing and feeling depression is a part of the healing process. The human ability to heal and my own journey reminds me that ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ and my greatest gift this holiday season was my own resilience.
I thought it might be a fun and self motivating idea if I shared some of my goals and dreams with you all for the coming year. What is of particular interest to me is to see where I am with all of these things next year at this time! I plan to write a post at the end of next year so we can see how well I did.
The holidays, or ‘holidaze’ as I sometimes refer to them, are here. Preparations are fully underway, or maybe just starting. Here are a few tips from someone who loves Christmas, but loves his sanity even more!
The firing is complete and the healing vase is here! We have included a video of the entire project. Please join us for the unveiling of ‘The Healing Vase’.
My concept for this piece is to allow the process of raku and the flames of the reduction process to act as a healing tonic for your grief and pain, for mine, and for all who to choose to participate in this process collectively. The end result – transforming pain and grief into an object of beauty.
You can receive a Christmas ornament, raku pottery owl, or even one of the vases featured in the book! How cool would it be to have a piece of art featured in a book that includes your name!
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce everyone to my next art project which has great personal meaning to me. The best part of the project is that you can also participate. Yes. You!
