Let go of your pretensions—squeeze, shape, knead & play your
way to spiritual growth. "I am being formed by the clay. I am
reconnecting with the earth, and with the other basic elements,
too—air, water, fire—and life itself. Every gesture leaves its
trail in the clay. Every fingerprint, a message. My breath fills
the cavity. My touch curves the wall of a bowl. And inwardly, I am
being formed by the outward practice. I am learning to trust the
process, to lean into the possibilities rather than striving for
some predetermined goal. I am being hollowed out, stretched and
constricted, trimmed and sometimes reworked entirely." —from the
Prologue Drawing from her first-hand experience of working with
clay, Marjory Zoet Bankson takes you through the seven-step process
of making clay into a pot, drawing parallels at each stage to the
process of spiritual growth: Grounding—Connecting with our core
elements Kneading—Awakening to the inner realm
Centering—Gathering everything together Shaping—Focusing inner
and outer pressures Finishing—Trimming away the excess
Decorating—Adding a playful touch Firing—Committing to
transformation This simple connection with the earth has the
potential to put you in touch with the whole of creation and, at
the same time, your soul's longing to participate as an artist,
creating something new and unique. Through reflective questions in
each chapter—along with a wealth of unique clay projects that
even beginners can do—Bankson invites you on a journey of
spiritual discovery, a path of reconnecting with your body and
spirit, and with the earth itself.
