EXPERIENCE SHAPING CLAY ON A POTTER'S SPINDLE

The experience of shaping clay on a potter's spindle is something very special. We prepare a lump of clay, turn the potter's spindle and the clay invites us to shape it as we wish. A special peace is created in the mind as the wet clay creeps through our hands. Thoughts stop, and all that is left is the sensation in the fingers as they shape the swirling clay. As the clay on the spindle settles at will and finally moves into the centre of rotation, our movements eventually become calm and we become calm and relaxed. In fact, shaping the clay on the potter's spindle is precisely what requires the calmness of our movements to guide the clay to a particular shape. In this way we can make a pot, a sculpture or anything we can imagine. Or we can just create the relaxing feeling of shaping clay without the obligation of finishing the product.
