Wabi-Sabi: The Japanese Art of Finding Beauty in Imperfect Ceramics
Pottery and collecting ceramics is another hobby of mine that has been slowly garnering as I feed more into it. I have learned that artists do this thing where they explore their creative sides through different artsy activities and I guess that includes me. In the very last few days of my trip to London, the flame had been reignited as I stumbled upon a pottery workshop that I could attend and the experience was unlike any other before. The yearning I had to try it hands-on and learn had been fulfilled and the style of the workshop keenly reminded me of my own set of them. I had documented my wholesome experience in the following series of photographs shot on my Fujifilm Xa5 with a XF 35mm f1.4 Fujinon lens.
