As I reached out to gently touch the wet, dripping clay, sulky mud started to adhere to the tip of my fingers. The bulk was reckless, uncontrollable and would not succumb to my command. Detaching from the spinning wheel, it was screeching, "I am not a pencil." However, the way I was tackling it would be applied to sketching a thumbnail on paper. "Go slowly, yet still apply enough force," Penny's words echoed in my ears. Suddenly, but not unexpectedly, my fingers sunk into the quicksand. There was a hole in my creation. An imperfection. Looking at the drying bits of clay on my hand, I felt a strong desire to learn. I wanted to know more. I wanted to craft something. - Vu
