Pots on my window sill. Some green, some biscuit fired.
I find thinking with my hands engages the rest of my senses and is the most effective way to understand complex issues.
Today I reconstituted used clay.
It requires physical effort to knock and squash air from the clay and knead it into an even, workable texture. It was a good workout and offered me a valuable sense of being grounded once the work was finished. Now I can go and do the important work of playing with it!
