"For
me, the hand building process is a dialogue between my hands and the
clay: its a special language in which my whole body is involved
in speaking and
listening to the clay.
I love the nourishing communion of this process which involves all the elements of creation: Earth, Water, Air and Passion. There is no substitute for
the pleasure you derive
from making your own
piece of pottery."
Ms Kwan, advance student potter. |
