Selling Through Your Website | Avesha DeWolfe | Episode 629

As a die-hard ocean lover, clay provides a way to pay homage and respect to the source of Avesha DeWolfe's inspiration and the place that refuels her. Through form and surface treatment, Avesha's work reflects a life-long enchantment with the ocean and rocky beaches of Maine, where she grew up. In Scotland, where Avesha lives now, the enchantment continues. Avesha's work is constructed out of soft slabs of red, mid-range clay.  Building pots this way requires mindfulness and an active slowing down of the mind in order to examine every angle, curve, foot and rim.  Nothing in the process of making a pot is taken for granted, every element of every piece is a considered choice. That consideration creates pottery which calls out to be held and offers space for mindful moments of self-care. Those moments add up to a life well-lived.
