“One can’t stand forever on the shore. At some point, filled with indecision, skepticism, reservation and doubt, you either jump in or concede that life is forever elsewhere” – Arthur Miller. . I’ve just left the Archie Bray Foundation after a magical summer. The kind of magical summer that contained a universe: new people in my tribe, new ideas and new work, new laugh lines on my face, and simultaneously more than a few tears and smashed pots. . I jumped in this summer. Both with my work, and my personal life. Some of it panned out, some of it didn’t. Try as I might, I can’t control everything. Sometimes the clay disappoints you, sometimes people disappoint you. That’s what you open yourself up to when you take a risk, so I don’t have any regrets. I know where I want to go, I’m just not sure exactly how to get there. . For those of you who will ask what is next, here is my answer: singing at the top of my lungs to Lizzo in my car, as I drive towards points unknown. . And to reward those of you who actually read this far, I suggest you swipe for a satisfying slow-mo video of me smashing these bowls. I think it’s worth watching until the end. Thanks to @sophiaguilera for snapping this photo and the video. . . #archiebray #ontheroadagain #canadianceramics #summeratthebray

I’m so honoured to have been interviewed by Ben Carter (@carterpottery) for his podcast Tales of a Red Clay Rambler. I hope you’ll give the episode a listen. Link in profile. . Posted @withrepost • @carterpottery On today’s podcast Naomi Clement (@naomikclement) talks about how finding her grandparents love letters spurred her interest in cursive text as a jumping off point for abstraction.
