In a world that incessantly hustles, the methodical steps of pottery feel like a gentle rebellion. There’s a soothing cadence in the wait for the clay to dry, the deliberate application of glaze, the eager anticipation as the kiln fires the piece into existence. Every stage is a testament to the idea that beauty not only takes time—it thrives on it.

When the wheel starts to spin, and the clay begins to take shape, the world falls away. There’s only the mud and me, a dialogue between my hands and my heart. Each piece I craft is a silent conversation, a narrative of my innermost feelings and experiences. This dialogue with clay is meditative; it requires a presence that washes away all else, a focus that is both grounding and liberating.

In pottery, as in all creative endeavors, it’s not the flawless execution but the genuine expression that holds the most profound beauty. Like the strokes of Bob Ross’s brush, which turned blunders into mountains and spills into rivers, the goblin incense burner stands as a charming tribute to the philosophy that every mistake is a step in the dance of creation.
