Pottery: How I Embarked on this Journey

When I Discovered My Passion for this Art
One day, I accidentally passed by a new pottery studio, which happened to be in my neighbourhood. Firstly I asked if they offer lessons, and secondly if there are available places. This is where and how I had my first official lesson on the wheel. Months later, I went to Chania for a two months stay. This is where I got really lucky with pottery. The ceramic studio was 2 minutes away from the apartment I was staying at and ceramic courses were offered in my mother tongue!! This is where I really got to learn working on the wheel. I posted the lessons on my YouTube channel if you’d like to watch. Overall, I created 9 ceramic pieces and practiced a lot. The ceramic pieces in the photo are my favourites from what I created so far.

Why I Continue to Find Joy in Pottery
For the moment pottery is my hobby. But I find it so fascinating and I hope I will continue to play with clay and create beautiful things, that I can then give away to friends. Also curious to see how this new hobby will evolve for me and where it will bring me in the future… Do you have a similar story to share? What is your hobby?

“No one knows for certain how much plastic, which is virtually indestructible, has accumulated in the seas. The best guess, made in 2015, was about 150 million metric tons. Assuming things remain the same, the study estimates that accumulation will become 600 million metric tons by 2040” – National Geographic.
