Some inspiring textures and shapes. The shapes on the rock were made from the prints of my muddy boot. Next I gotta figure out how to translate that onto clay 🤔

Potters are problem solvers. @samstaas_ and I wanted to move this kiln without hurting ourselves, so we took the time to disassemble it and put it back together. 👍👍 🛠️ 🧰 #kilnmovingday #pottery #promlemsolver #teamwork
