I wanted to write a short note and introduce myself to the group. I have been a licensed massage therapist for 20 years and touched clay only 2 short years ago. As my mentor, Worley Faver, told me............the clay touches you. And BOY did it! I have been working ever since and have fallen hard for it. I hand build using the coil method and mostly use sawdust or horse hair for my finish along with burnishing techniques. The best thing that clay has taught me so far, is to let go of control. If I allow the clay to work through me, it's a very good day.
Anyway, thanks for the chance to be part of the forum. I am excited and very willing to learn and grow as an artist. I look forward to being a part of this community.
With great kindness and gratitude - Lucy

Hello Lucy and welcome to our group. We are glad that you have decided to join us here. It is so neat to see someone when they completely fall in love with their art. That shows that you have a lot of passion and that will come out in your work. I have never seen the horse hair or saw dust finish and now I want to know what that looks like. Good luck to you.
