- Abstract
- "You think you're molding clay until you realize that clay is molding you" This is a collage image from a workshop I had a chance to attend in Mudhouse Studio, Dubai. As an artist, I tried my hand and acquired a very interesting skill recently through pottery (wheel throwing class). It was an ever-evolving space that made me as a woman feel safe, empowered and allowed expression through art - a personal passion. Gender roles today are definitely broken as this form of art that required physical exertion was equated to masculinity for centuries. There was definitely a sense of intimate connection between the ceramicist and clay which manifested and molded into brilliantly painted pots later - much like a world that celebrates women andfreeofbias.
