All About Mela

I have always had an appreciation for ceramics from a collector's point of view. I love the story behind each piece. In handling a handmade piece, you can almost feel the maker's intent.

To be a potter you need to free yourself from perfection and attachment. You cannot be so attached to a piece that you experience disappointment when the kiln doors open. Instead, you need to be excited and embrace the magic that happens during the firing process. You've done your work, and the rest is in the fate of the kiln gods.
