Detailed description is The dragonfly is a symbol of change and self realization.
For me it is a reminder to embrace change and live life to the fullest! Live your truth.
Where it all began and how it became Dragonfly Pottery....
.
I got my hands in the mud for the first time at a Smoky Mountain pottery studio in Gatlinburg.
For a short time, they offered a make it and take it hands on experience and I couldn’t wait to try it! With hand over hand assistance, my kids and I created something resembling bowls… I was hooked.
.
.
But, as it often does, life got busy and it was a move and a few years later before I played in the mud again.
My teen daughter and I signed up for an open wheel night at a studio in Cincinnati (www.queencityclay.com), we had a blast! We followed that with an eight week beginner’s class, and started creating some very primitive, but functional pottery… it wasn’t pretty, and it weighed a ton… and life got in the way again.
With the studio an hour away from our home, it was a year before we took another class, and then another 6 months later… .
.
I have owned my own gift shop (www.cranberryjunctiongifts.com) since 2000, and being in a rather remote area, I depended heavily on internet sales.
It was great for a while, but has become impossible to compete with the internet giants.
So, it was time to start thinking about other options.
In 2013, my daughter went off to college, I got divorced and pottery became my therapy… and my answer..
.
In 2015, I added a studio space to my store and Dragonfly Pottery was born.
You can visit the store in Metamora, Indiana from May-Dec and may even catch me throwing or glazing….
.
What Pottery has taught me about life….
.
Pottery and life have quite a few things in common I’ve learned over the past few years.
The wheel has been my therapist as I transition from what I thought my life should be into what my life will be.
I’ve learned to push a little harder and I’ve learned to let go… and I’ve needed lots of therapy to learn when to do which..
.
1. Find your center.
Everything begins with centering.
It doesn’t matter how much effort you put into something, if it’s not centered, it will never be balanced.
I found my center on my potter’s wheel.
It is my place to forget about everything around me, it is my place to reflect, and it is my place to get lost in the process.
.
2. Life is a process.
Pottery is a process.
There are lessons that must be learned.
You can’t create a beautiful piece of pottery without first getting dirty and making lots of mistakes.
I am learning to worry less about the destination, and enjoy the journey.
There are times I have started with an image in mind only to end up with something completely different… and perhaps even more beautiful.
Someday I will be able to do what I want to do and create what I want to create, but for now I will enjoy the process.
Because even small steps are steps in the right direction..
3. There is beauty in imperfection.
Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.
I have had customers rave over glazes that I thought were hideous, and leave my favorite piece untouched for months.
Pottery is a work of heart, and a handmade piece just feels warmer and more comforting than anything mass produced… even when it’s not perfect.
Or perhaps BECAUSE it’s not perfect.
When I am feeling less than stellar, I remind myself that in the eyes of those that matter, I am enough..
4. Shit happens… know when to let it go.
Like life, there are some mistakes in pottery that with enough patience can be fixed.
Push a little harder, keep a steady hand, and hope for the best.
But sometimes, you can work on a piece too hard and find that all your efforts have in fact weaken the piece beyond repair, and you just have to let it go and start over.
It is a fine line, there are days when everything is golden, and there are days when nothing works out… you just let it go and start again tomorrow..
5. Like clay, your life is yours to shape.
It may not always go as planned, but you might just end up with something beautiful..
.
Why a Dragonfly?.
.
The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world symbolizes change, strength and courage...
I discovered my love for pottery during a difficult time in my life and it is helping me to find my place in this ever changing world.
Every piece I create has a dragonfly as part of my signature or stamped on the handle of a mug.
I hope that when you see it, it reminds you to follow YOUR dreams!.
.
Thank you for being part of my journey!.
