#t=24As a person whos spent more than a few hours at the seat of a potters wheel I can attest to the strangely soothing act of doodling around with wet clay sludge (called slip) before or after throwing a pot. As fun as it is, its still somewhat surprising to see the act elevated to this level of artistry by Michael Gardner Mikhail Sadovnikov who blurs the line between performance and visual art as he creates pattern after pattern on an empty wheel.

and it looks like fun. I've wanted a potter's wheel for some time, perhaps this is the final inspirational push I need.
