DIGGING DEEPER
“Pottery has allowed me to connect to the Earth through a primitive form of creation. I’m inspired to explore life’s purpose as I put my hands in the clay, searching for a deeper meaning.”
-Katherine Reel, Ceramic Artist & Founder, Killen Road Pottery
“It is the physicality of the crafts that pleases me: I learn through my hands and my eyes and my skin what I could never learn through my brain. I develop a sense of life, of the world of earth, air, fire, and water - and wood… And if it is life that I am fostering, I must maintain a kind of dialogue with the clay, listening, serving, interpreting as well as mastering. The union of our wills, like a marriage, it is a beautiful act, the act of centering and turning a pot on the potter’s wheel…”
-Mary Caroline Richards, Centering, 1964
