In this time of Covid-19, a whole new set of terms has arisen to describe our situation – Covid Brain, Before Times, etc. And a whole new set of circumstances to navigate. As most of us have always wished for more time to do the things we love, when we have this extra time, we feel aimless…adrift…no beacon waiting out there for us.
Every possible timeline, event, or time-sensitive deadline has been wiped off the calendar.
For me, as a potter/artist, it can be off-setting, demoralizing, and depressing, but I’ve decided that I’m the captain of this weary vessel and must help decide on the navigation to take from here to arrive at ANY destination in the future.
Here’s my plan:
- Take online courses.
Cristina Cordova (fabulous teacher and sculptor) is offering online classes! Click here to go to classes- CLICK
The Australian Ceramics Association has several online classes that look great!
2. Work on these new skill sets.
3. Make “fun” stuff – just for me.
4. Make vessels that I can fire when it’s not so hot.
So keep busy my friends and let’s ENJOY this free, unscheduled time if possible!
Stay safe!
Marian
