Give Yourself Permission to Grow in Pottery - You’re Doing it Right!
Description
Because the process of making pottery is so prone to technical ‘failures’ it can often feel like you're constantly doing pottery ‘wrong’!
In this episode, we explore how giving yourself permission to get things ‘wrong’ in pottery as you learn and grow in your pottery-making skills and experience, opens up infinite creative opportunities for your work.
I share some things I’ve changed in my own pottery recently and some tips for how to give yourself permission to grow in your pottery-making. Knowing that pottery isn't meant to be ‘perfect’ and choosing thoughts such as ‘I'm doing it right’ (even though it often doesn't feel that way!), really supports our pottery-making learning journey.
