【Description】
Creating pottery requires both mental focus and physical effort. As the hands knead and shape, the clay takes its form and is then fired to harden. This process highlights the communication between humans and Nature and illustrates the formation of reality from the mind.
The process of clay shaping reflects the “Zen”—also known as the enlightened state of mind—in the pottery maker. Watching an elevated mind fuse with the shaping process brings peace to the audience. Zen pottery making is not simply an artistic expression, it is a giver of Divine inspiration to the soul.
