What Is the Nook about?

Appreciation

Gratitude goes a long way, and this craft has shown me that appreciating every step along the way will lead you to succeeding in your end goal.

Consistency

You have to show up, and clay makes sure you do. If you’re not consistent with this craft or your vessel, the cracks will eventually begin to show.

Mindfulness

To be present is to live a life without anxiety, without fear, without judgement. Clay asks for your presence, from the beginning to the end.

Presence

In this fast-paced world, it’s imperative we learn simply learn to slow things down. If you rush this craft, your vessel will tell you, losing its form and shape.
