Raffaele - A Talented Potter 12/6/2013 12:25:58 PM
Without looking at Laura, he straddled the stool in front of the wheel and began preparing a piece of wet clay. He turned on the wheel and continued to work the clay. Then he threw it on the wheel and instantly placed both hands around the clay. Concentrating on the clay and his hands, he said, “The clay has to be smoothed and shaped. I have to feel it yielding to my touch as it becomes one with the image in my mind. Laura, come over here.” He stopped the wheel and wet the clay again.
Laura walked over to him. He got up and said, “Sit here.” She sat down and he placed her hands on the centered clay. He leaned over her and switched on the wheel. Then he placed his hands over hers and began exerting pressure, turning this way and that way. “Can you feel the clay taking shape?” he asked.
More impressed with the touch of his hands than the clay beneath her fingers, Laura said, “Yes, I can feel it taking shape, and I can feel the power of your hands.”
