A Little Playlist

We are one month away from the shop launch, so to celebrate the nearing date I've made a little playlist!

Throughout this whole process I've learnt a lot. I'm now even better at not letting things that I cannot control affect me. It was about five months ago, I had half of my stock dried out ready for it to go through a bisque fire. I somehow managed to knock down my drying shelf and everything broke. I had a minute of silence before I grabbed my clay recycling bucket and started picking everything up. I was mostly angry with myself and my clumsiness. But I realised that if I fixated on it, I wouldn't get far at producing my stock.

Ceramics is a long process and you go through lots of casualties. If that's all I focused on, I wasn't able to express myself creatively. It started to loose its calming and meditative effects. Not everything goes smoothly all the time. Give yourself a minute, then let it go. I've carried this even more through all aspects of my life and I feel so much freer. And this is what this playlist reminds me to do.
