Atelier diary - The inspiration of Play - August 20th to September 9th

I don't know but this cookie jar hits me in the feels! This was also the first time that I fired the kiln in the new atelier, which is always a bit nerve wracking cause you never know if you transported the kiln safely untill you turn it on. This is also the reason that this is a more three week-ish video, because I decided to transport the kiln to another place and that took some puzzling.
This is also the first attempt on talking to the camera and sharing more of my deeper thoughts in regards to art. I have many of those thoughts and I was also surpised to see me looking away from the camera when I think (which is often) so I'll have a bit of a learning path in that regards.

All in all, I hope that you like this vid. And the ceramic cookie jar!!! What a work! Now you can really see how time consuming that is. Have an easy watch, welcome and feel free to subscribe!
