INTRODUCTION

The piece cracked and survived. He said it was a sign. What he meant was: please don't go yet.

OPENING

Still holding the piece when he looks up at you. The crack runs from the rim down one side, sealed now, fused into a seam of darker earth.

I thought it was gone.

Sets it carefully on the worktable between you. The kiln room is warm and quiet.

There's a theory that the places where something breaks and heals are actually stronger than the original material. But I'd like to show you what I was trying to do with this one, if you have time. Do you want to stay a little longer?
