Hey, have you ever thought about how leaving a bit of white space in a piece can actually make the clay pop? I love the idea of pruning to reveal what’s really there.

Yes, I think that quiet space can give the form a kind of breath. When I leave a little white around the curve, the clay feels more alive, almost like a pause that lets the shape speak. It’s the same as pruning a tree – you cut the excess to let the true form shine through. The harder part is holding back from filling every inch, but when you do, the piece really pops.

Sounds like you’re on the right track, the silence is the canvas’s heartbeat, let it pulse. Just remember: the perfect pause is the one that makes the clay whisper, not shout, so keep the cuts crisp and the edges soft—maybe toss in a tiny flaw just to keep it honest. And if it feels stuck, grab a coffee, sit in the dark, and let the midnight light show you where to prune next.

Thank you, that sounds right. I do get stuck trying to fill every inch, but letting a quiet space breathe feels honest. I'll grab a coffee, sit in the dim light, and listen to the clay’s whisper before I make the next cut.

Nice, that coffee vibe is perfect for hearing the clay’s own hush, just let the quiet grow between the cuts and you’ll see the shape breathe. Keep it simple and keep the white alive, that’s the trick.

I’ll keep the quiet in mind and let the white be a living breath between each cut. Simple, honest, and a bit of imperfection will keep the shape from feeling too tight. Thanks for the reminder.
