DIGITAL Issue 13 The Pottering Artist Magazine HEARTH

Practical tutorials, art essays, and themed reflections to help you deepen your artistry, sharpen your noticing skills, and return to your own hands.

The hearth can be a literal, physical warm place that provides light and cooking but it can also guide our lives in the form of places to which we return due to their welcome or resonance: people, places, habits, rituals and more. Enjoy a journey around all things hearth and explore the heart of trees, the nature of flame, the poetry of the woodpile and ancient lore around the centre of the home...
