Hard & Artefacto
You know how in the field you can't wait for perfect conditions, but when you mold clay you chase perfection—maybe there's a balance we can find.
True, the field teaches us to take what comes, and the kiln makes us hold out for the best. The balance is listening to the clay’s own rhythm, not racing to finish.
Yeah, the kiln won't finish if you rush. Trust the process, keep a tight eye, and know when to push and when to pause.
I hear that, and I keep the hands still when the stone still moves. If I watch it, I can feel when the heat says it’s ready. It’s the pause that lets the shape breathe.
Sounds like you're reading the stone, not the clock. That’s the right way to get a good break before you press. Keep watching it, stay sharp.
