20.01.2022 Chop Wood Carry Water: When you sweep the floors Gather your daily regrets in the dustpan Release them into the afternoon sun ... And let the seeds of sorrow plant new dreams When you wash the dishes Scrub away the debris of mind Let each bubble reveal the emptiness Of your original face When you cook food Let your heart pour into every simmer and stir Let every spice and kernel and grain Contain Your holy devotion To this brief human Life When you eat Chew your own Love Swallow the arms of the Mother Let them wrap around your belly With infinite compassion Let every bite Be an act of worship When you bathe Let your hands become healers Strip the body of its tensions and confusions Pour the water of suppleness back into your bones Baptize yourself into Holy presence Let your skin drink the nectar of open delight Let fingernails scratch open your tired old wounds Until your wholeness is revealed beneath the static When you walk Let each toe pressing into earth Be a thank you note To the gift of ground When you breathe Let each inhale be a love letter to God And every exhale a blessing to the trees You are living prayer And magic in motion The church of the ordinary Is the secret of secrets For it is in the tiny places That kindness lives And this kindness Is the doorway To God ~ Maya Luna: https://linktr.ee/depravedanddivine [Art: Steve Chmilar's Painted World]

19.01.2022 In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write a famous author and ask for advice. Kurt Vonnegut was the only one to respond - and his response i...s magnificent: Dear Xavier High School, and Ms. Lockwood, and Messrs Perin, McFeely, Batten, Maurer and Congiusta: I thank you for your friendly letters. You sure know how to cheer up a really old geezer (84) in his sunset years. I don’t make public appearances any more because I now resemble nothing so much as an iguana. What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow. Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of your lives. Draw a funny or nice picture of Ms. Lockwood, and give it to her. Dance home after school, and sing in the shower and on and on. Make a face in your mashed potatoes. Pretend you’re Count Dracula. Here’s an assignment for tonight, and I hope Ms. Lockwood will flunk you if you don’t do it: Write a six line poem, about anything, but rhymed. No fair tennis without a net. Make it as good as you possibly can. But don’t tell anybody what you’re doing. Don’t show it or recite it to anybody, not even your girlfriend or parents or whatever, or Ms. Lockwood. OK? Tear it up into teeny-weeny pieces, and discard them into widely separated trash recepticals. You will find that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your poem. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot more about what’s inside you, and you have made your soul grow. God bless you all! Kurt Vonnegut ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I was 15 I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of getting to know you questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes. And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them. And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them. And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could Win at them.

19.01.2022 Yay.. we have finally got some clay! My wholesaler in Victoria was all out and we've been waiting weeks for them to get more. I hope it means the potters in Melbourne are having some creative time. Stay safe and get your hands in clay! ... So now we can start scheduling in some classes. See more

19.01.2022 Second try on the wheel and he’s rocking a 1.5kg lump of clay on a wild windy night at pottery class! Next week it will be trimmed so I’ll show you a pic .. if he lets me.

14.01.2022 So happy I’ve perfected my white speckled glaze.

14.01.2022 Pottery class voucher for Christmas? Get in touch.

13.01.2022 Oooo. My festoon lights are giving me ideas for a ‘twilight’ throwing class. Imagine throwing on the wheel and just concentrating on feeling the clay. The outcome would not be important.. just the process of awareness, feeling the textures and being in the moment. That sounds so fun! ... Let me know if you’d like to book in for that one. . . .

13.01.2022 So sorry that we need to put classes on hold due to the latest restrictions. . We know that doing something creative is great for reducing stress, so make the most of your time at home and start brainstorming your next creations. . Do some drawings and sketches (and goggling )... I'm looking forward to seeing some great inspirations when we get back into the studio. . See you again soon. Chris See more

02.01.2022 This time last year I took up residence at the Art house in mclaren vale for a few months, as I had some extra time on my hands. Such a great opportunity. My usual workplace was devastated by fire, so I dug both hands into my other passion... clay. Now my Day Spa is back up and running and I am about to open my new pottery studio next to it and combine clay and day spa self care workshops and pottery classes. ... What an amazing journey. . .
