The Beauty of a Work in Process

A Work in Process

There’s something special about seeing a clay piece while it’s still being made. The surface shows every touch of Mark’s hands, every small decision that shapes its form. At this stage, the clay is full of possibility—it hasn’t been fired yet, but it already carries the marks of creativity and intention.

A Reminder that Beauty Can Show up Before a Piece is Finished

Even before the final firing, an unfinished clay piece has a beauty all its own. The natural color, the fingerprints, the small imperfections—they give it warmth and character. It’s a simple reminder that creation is a journey, and that sometimes the most beautiful moments happen in the middle of the process, not at the end.
