We’ve had some beautiful emails and messages this week, from people who have bought from us or received a seatree treasure over the festive season, or even way back. It means a lot when people reach out, and reminds us why we do what we do. We pour our hearts into what we do. It all starts with the words, with Chris’s poetry – that’s a whole other blog post needed there – and with our connection to the land and water around us, The clay in our hands takes shape, reflecting the hills, the shorelines, the birds taking flight. Words are added. Sometimes the words lead to the shape, sometimes the shape leads to the words. Words are powerful. They bring hope, meaning, connection.
As we had the words, they flow across the clay in a way that we hope adds to the meaning and textures, lines, marks are added – sometimes a sketch, to bring the words to life. Once fired, the next level, colour, is added.
So much love goes into each piece and we watch as each piece goes through the furnace, as it were. So, to send the work out to you, to its new home, sometimes with a beautiful story attached as to why it is being purchased, is a joyous thing. Thank you!
