Welcome to Spirit of Clay
I'm Laurie Erdman, a lawyer turned potter turned health coach. I love mud, food and words. At Spirit of Clay I get to mix these loves, as I explore what clay means to me. Here I share new pots. I share other people's pots that move me. I discuss the connection between nature and pottery. I explore the spiritual lessons I have learned while working with clay. Grab a cup of tea and stay awhile.Other Places to Find Laurie & her Claytastic pottery
