Working with Clay

Working with clay is mediative. It is tactile. Working with clay lowers your blood pressure, regulates your breathing, and reduces your stress level. It demands your attention. It is in charge. You work on it when it is dry but not too dry or too wet. Working with clay does has rules, but understanding and using them to your advantage unlocks your creativity. It will push your creativity if you let it. It will push you beyond what you thought capable. That is why it’s always reminded me of a woman.
