Robert Genn's Painter's Keys is a free twice-weekly letter for artists of all kinds:
from Richard Jacobs, author of Searching for Beauty:
"...However, the shape and character of your pottery is not ultimately going to be determined by your expert technique but by the shape and character of you. Your central task is not devising cunning strategies for your career but to construct and create the personhood that can sponsor complex explorations and honest experimentations. The observable integrity of the individual pot is a representation of the integrity of the person who created it. Ironically, this stumbling struggle to attain mastery only becomes convincing when it also demonstrate the fallibility of your human status. You are embedded and enshrined in the artifact – including the unconscious orientation of your time and place, the worldview grafted on you at birth, the parochial element of the neighborhood of your youth...."
