Doing pottery brings so much joy! Join me for this episode of the podcast where I talk about some mental re-frames that can support your joy as a Potter even more!

🌈 - The importance of enjoying making pottery in the present moment 

🌈 - Seeing β€˜failure’ as an opportunity for learning 

🌈 - The importance of not judging your early work and instead celebrating the evolution of your pottery skills. 

🌈 - Allowing yourself to play and experiment in your pottery and how this can inspire your creativity. 

🌈 - The importance of following your curiosity and the things you enjoy learning about. 

🌈 - Allowing yourself to make things your way, however that feels right for you in your own body. 

🌈 - How the pottery learning journey isn't linear, and that's ok - you're doing it right!
