tizhameh,(thanks) Phil,
I notice a mainstream rush to find the easiest, the most pain free or the

I've been sitting and rolling tiny coils of clay in a quiet studio for
almost 30 years...
the same slow methodical technique of coil building vessels,
shingle-lapping tiny coils.
a lot of time for contemplation.... i'm not even turtle clan!  :-)
