Introducing Timna
I became interested in pottery slowly bit by bit over time, maybe I was a potter at heart but I didn’t know until later. At first it was looking at pots that caught my attention, I was intrigued. It seem like alchemy.
Starting out I was impatient, and when I did succeed the pots looked ugly, static, and disappointing. They seemed to think so too. I would give up, be cross, not think about it, but I would try again.
One day a pot worked and when I looked at it, it seemed to smile back at me. This sounds like a fairy story and it is. A potter’s fairy story.
