Thoughts on sustainable
living
Earth is such a wonderful element.
It can soothe us down and gives us balance. Whether we choose to take up gardening, pottery or even to take a walk on a carpet of fallen autumn leaves, we can feel the benefits right away. This is why we have a responsibility to contribute our fair share to maintaining and preserving it.
So what can we do to lead a more earth-friendly lifestyle?
Let’s choose handmade!
I strongly believe that using handcrafted items in our daily life is one of the answers. Using objects created by the hard work of an artist clearly adds a personal touch to it. Also, knowing that each and every step was handmade with the utmost care and attention brings life to the object – it connects us to nature and has the power to slow down our racing minds so that we can be more in tune with ourselves.
Working with clay has helped me to feel more connected to myself through working with my hands, allowing me to express parts of myself I didn't know were inside.
