As I age and get more comfortable demonstrating in front of my students, I find that my work is becoming more fluid and spontaneous like this little pinch pot here. Mistakes don't bother me anymore, I just go with them instead of trying to repair them. So if something rips, I rip the piece in even more places. I'm also really enjoying using hardware store items in my clay work; nails, staples, washers and such. When fired with the clay they expand, bend, look old and tarnished. Kinda like me. I like that. So here's to growing old, but thank goodness the students keep my mind young and current! LOL I will miss that when I retire.
