Cortland J HarstadIn a life that is on a winding road stuck in the slow lane. I've found my calling by blending the unexpected magic of pottery, photography, and graphic design into my creative toolbox.Capturing life through a camera lens, I discovered the magic of freezing fleeting moments in time. Photography revealed that stories could be told without words, and emotions could be encapsulated within a single frame.As the digital age beckoned, I embarked on a colorful adventure into graphic design. Typography, colors, and layouts became my brushes, and the screen became my canvas. Through graphic design, I learned the art of blending aesthetics with intention, weaving meaning into every pixel and creating designs that didn't just catch eyes, but also ignited thoughts.Now I have taken a chance on Pottery and the humble clay has taken a chance on me. As I dove into the art of pottery, I quickly realized it was about more than just shaping clay on a wheel. It taught me patience, the beauty of embracing imperfections, and the art of letting go – lessons that started showing up in my life off the wheel too. Each piece I crafted became a mirror of my own growth, reminding me that life, much like clay, is meant to be molded with both care and a touch of spontaneity.Beyond their individual forms, these crafts are fragments of my soul that I share with the world. Join me in celebrating the beauty of turning everyday inspirations into art, embracing the delightful chaos of creation, and using my diverse creative toolbox to weave stories that resonate.
