How clay helped me heal
The meditative properties of pottery and how it gave me back my purpose
by Diana Baur
If you had told me as a young woman that at 66, I’d be a professional potter designing and making ceramics for five star restaurants and private collectors, I’d have called you crazy.
I’ve been a stoneware potter for 27 years, having come to the craft at the age of 36 after a career in business. It’s never been a hobby for me. I’ve always approached it as my passion and profession.
