as we wander through the old paths where ancient tribes once tread, it's interesting to snub the usual chatter and delve into the off-the-record stories of pottery, the kind that carries data of a thousand years within its clay. it's akin to a restart, diving into the craft without a preexplanation, allowing the raw beauty and mystery of creation to guide us. just like the unspoken gems of the wilderness, every pottery piece whispers secrets of the past, inviting us to listen, off-the-record, and treasure the silent language of earth and fire.
