I just loved this interview! There is something so magical about clay. There is an amazing potter here whose work I love to collect and cherish. I love that you sew your own curtains and blinds! I have an art studio that I create in every day! Yesterday I was ripping up pants that I will likely embroider on! I love writing and creating magical children's books, drawing, painting...my list is long and it all brings me so much joy!
I loved this interview and the thought of creating slowly. Recently I started crocheting again and I’m learning so much about NOT hurrying and enjoying the process. Thank you
I loved this interview and will certainly buy the book. One of my earliest memories is making mud pies and forming 'pots'. We used the clay in our garden to make the cob render on our strawbale studio. Making something that big was a sculptural, messy, playful and almost defiant primal need.
I really enjoyed this. I think there are a lot of pottery folks who work with so-called 'wild' clay. There's one I follow on YouTube, Everything Kindred, and she has a video talking about harvesting and trying to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p80usBeMcE
On another note, I find that it's become very difficult to find the links to the True Stories gatherings (and are there Creative Questions ones anymore?). The 'next dates' are often mentioned in a post like this one, and then sometimes the links to join are in yet another place, the chat maybe? For this week's one I hunted for a good several minutes to find it. I understand not using Crowdcast — it is often buggy — but I wonder if there's an easier way to remind us of these wonderful events and make sure we get the links.
Ah Beth, we've tried so many different ways, and it's really complicated for some reason. We're going to try out some new ideas in the coming weeks though - I think I need to give up relying on Substack alone to deliver the info.
I am so tickled that you started this series with clay. I have been dancing around my desire to be knee deep in clay for a long long time (early childhood?)
and through working with the Artist’s Way and allowing myself to knit, color, paint and draw for a good few years I finally got there. Now I have a kiln and a studio I love. It is the most joyful part of my life outside of human relationships! Clay feels so primal to me - I can’t wait to read this book.

I would love to be able to knit/crochet, but can’t get into a flow with it - clay is much more versatile anyway.
I love this in more ways than I can say.

Thanks for keeping on trying! I love these events when I can make it to them. :)
If you have the brainspace, please keep feeding back!

Another creative pursuit to consider…. Thanks
