Watershed: One Potter’s Experience…Day 2

I once had an art professor who harped on the idea that “life constantly gets in the way of art.”  But as I get older, I realize more and more, how true this statement really is.  And when we are given the opportunity to work in an environment to allows us to hush the callings of our day to day life, this truth becomes crystal clear.

So much happens within us, when we are placed in an intensely creative environment, such as that of Watershed…we begin to gain inspiration from every aspect of our day, we notice art in the world around us more, we can achieve a greater focus on our own work, and we start to share ideas with others.  These are the things I noticed yesterday, on the second day at Watershed, as everyone settled into their studio spaces, and got down to work.
