ZEN AND POTTERY

While the seeing and drawing, brush strokes and other classes are practiced in our Institute occasionally, the pottery class is our main manifestaion amoung the Zen ad Art activities.

As a continuation of the spiritual tranquility achieved through the Zen practice, pottery making offers a chance to gather and project personal serenity into a creative material expression. Since our hands are intimately connected with brain energy, they often express the stress or peace accumulated in our mind. Our hands speak and communicate non-verbally without lies and with a concentrated sincerity emanating from the deepest hidden recesses of the unconscious.

Zen practice gives us a way of discovering this creative universe, releasing our pure and beautiful inner smile, allowing us to encounter feelings and talents never imagined. As a result, we come to understand ourselves through just being and doing. It is the quintessence of living, loving, being creative and being connected to all that surrounds us.

Pottery done in the spirit of Zen offers an incredible chance for the Self to be centered and united with the universal harmony through the interaction between the spirit of clay and our deepest awareness. For it is this spirit that reflects our conscience. It offers a place of rest, supporting and forgiving.

During the pottery process we manipulate the basic elements of earth (clay), air, water and fire. In the spirit of Zen, we will hand build and wheel-throw our pottery and create our own glazes.

Perhaps the few considerations enumerated here will intrigue you enough to try Zen and Pottery.

In the spirit of Zen... welcome
