BEV ZIMMERMAN POTTERY


"This is our purpose: to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us, to live in such a way that we may be proud of ourselves, to act in such a way that some part of us lives on."
~Oswald Spengler

Studio

My studio is a space filled with work tables, wooden shelves, tools and books. Words and messages are written on walls and on shards of paper hanging everywhere. Working in this space slows the pace of life. I have learned that the physical properties of clay making like drying and firing doesn't occur all at once. It is only over time that one can get to know a form, a glaze, the essence of a pot. I welcome the slow pace and I welcome the serendipitious. In solitude we discover what makes us feel alive.
