Centa,

The passion for our "work" and our passion for living are not seperate
matters. A broader, more wholistic view may erase those lines we sometimes
create that separate us from ourselves.

"JUSCO fills the everyday with richness, bringing you a more relaxing,
natural life."

The same can be said for pottery. Whether it is done poorly, a little at a
time, or alot and very well.

Being new to pottery I have already decided to start moving my life (work)
to creating pottry. I've been working electronics and programming for a long
time after not realizing my artistic career. Things come in cycles though.
A friend and I are trying to work up a buisness and I'll continue working
my other job until it's time to dedicate full time to the pottery. My intrest
isnt in the product I produce however. The passion that I have is for the
process itself. I spend most of my spare time at the wheel and several of
the pots that come off simply get recycled because "I can do better". The
process of creating overrides what is created. Of course this may all change
once my kiln gets set up and the other half of the process begins in earnest.

p.s. Are there any potter groups in the western suburbs of the Chicago area?
