Pottery

They may look like to plain mugs to you, but to me they are very special. My husband made plans for me to make these for my birthday present. I actually "made" them myself--with the help of the master potter. Yes, I had my hands in and around them, the wheel was spinning and I was forming them--with the help of the master potter. I made the mug part and the potter put on the handles and glaze later. He had given me specific instructions on how to make them, but I wanted to turn my hands in different directions. Of course, that didn't work and he reminded me of what he had said. When I followed his directions, I was successful. How often we turn to our own devices and do our thing when we should be following the instructions of the Master Potter. Isaiah 64:8--"Yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand."

Thank you, Larry of Lost Creek Pottery, for allowing me insight into your expertise. I know now that I don't have a passion as your do for making pottery, but I welcomed the experience. Find Larry at http://www.lostcreekpottery.com.
