I remember doing a pottery class in final year of school. It felt like it was outside time, compared to the rest of the school day. Such a calm interlude before returning to tests and deadlines. Now I'm moving house and looking through boxes of photos and diaries, which I don't often do, and I'm amazed at whole chunks of my life which I've forgotten. But I still remember those calm pottery sessions!
I find theories about the speed time passes so interesting. I heard a few years ago (from my mum who had heard a radio discussion!) that time seems to pass more slowly when we are laying down new memories, which is why it passes slowly for children and more quickly for adults. And that correlates with the theory you talk about. But also from what you say, each day will actually seem to pass more quickly for children, but has been slow when they look back ? Right? Fascinating!
Loved this post Joan, and can’t wait to hear more about the pottery classes xxx
Yes, it’s so wild. Think I’ll write a bit more about time - it’s so fascinating. Your source sounds excellent! I often hear things from my mum who heard them on the radio 😊
Brilliant as always, Joan. Love how you linked two life changing events in your life and how they changed your perception of time. Wonderful clay and pottery experiences. Clay is the ultimate slow down art form. Really excited for you about your pottery course and look forward to seeing what you create! Will try that pumpkin pie recipe, thank you. Love to you and the fam for a wonderful Thanksgiving. 🧡💚🧡💚

I hope the move is going well. That’s so lovely you have that memory of pottery… bet Edinburgh has some lovely sessions 😊
I also have missing ‘chunks’ in my memory… Great you have pics and pages to help you remember xx
Hope you enjoy your ceramics, Joan - and that is slows down time by the optimum amount!

Lawrence is doing the course with me - our equivalent of ballroom dancing class 😆
