I had the honor of doing a Day in the Life session for Camila’s family, and she also owns Green Bee Ceramics!! It was so fun to watch her at work, very much “at home” at the pottery wheel. If you are thinking about picking up some planters, or maybe need a new coffee mug—check out her stuff! 😍❤️
Quiet heaps underneath.
The tumbled mountains
In a brew left from twigs, sand, and sinews.
Flowing, slithering down valleys.
Rest the sleepy globs,
Cradled in sacred, secret pockets.
Processing in the still, dark, heavy, cold. Steeped slow.
Feet stepped in,
Hands scoop and gather.
Visceral rolling and folding.
Pressed into spheres.
Maker who sits and waits, breath upon breath.
Channels from beyond.
Gravity, spins, pushes
Revolves in concentric spirals. Pulse. Repeat.
Centered and still.
Potential that wills
To be opened, pulled
Ring upon ring
Guiding shapely forms
With the slightest fingertips.
By the sill, blows dry, soft waves of air.
Forged in heat.
Glaze flows down. A regal garment for the
Mature, steady, stone.
Functions in grace.
To hold, give, nourish, pour, uplift.
To be of service. Perfectly imperfect.
