As Casebeer sat hunched over the potter’s wheel, he proceeded to wet a clay ball and shape a cup with his hands.
This is Casebeer’s “moment of bliss,” when the clay is soft and supple. Because at that point, it has the potential to be made into anything.

“Our time on the planet is actually very short and the older you get, you begin to realize that,” Casebeer said. “‘How much longer do I really have to do this?’ It better be good. Everyday is a special day if you get to be with your art and work in the studio. Not everybody finds that in life.”
