The Master Potter

I am the master potter with clay in my hands I use all my tools and talents to shape what I have I am the clay in the potter's hands I can be molded to any shape to fit any purpose I am the Kiln for that is where I am tempered and made strong I am the artwork shaped with meaning and design when I break that is when my true beauty can shine Where my cracks and flaws show with gold I am the master potter with clay in my hands

Hello Ezra Cook, I am thinking it is you that is handling the clay. Shaping it into some type of shape then to glaze. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/

It's those "cracks and flaws" that give character to that shaped clay. A great piece, Ezra.
