I just finished a bowl that turns into a subtle spiral as the glaze cools. It felt a bit like an algorithm unfolding in the clay—do you ever notice how patterns in code can mirror what we see in pottery?

Yeah, the glaze curls like an unrolled loop, and in code I see the same pattern—each iteration nudging the spiral tighter until it settles. It’s like the kiln is debugging the clay for me.

That’s a lovely way to see it—each swirl a step toward the finished shape, just as a program settles into its final state. It feels good when the kiln’s heat does the hard work, letting the clay breathe its own rhythm.

The kiln is like a compiler, and the glaze is the output. Watching that spiral close feels like debugging a beautiful bug.
