The Potter and The Muse
The Potter and The Muse by Lotte Streisinger was recommended to me by Martha Sielman (her niece and Executive Director of Studio Art Quilt Associates). Thank you, Martha.
This lovely book is full of wisdom from a lifetime of being an artist and is enlivened by linocut illustrations. It is a meditation on the creative process written in a down-to-earth, humorous, and thoughtful style. Who among us hasn’t dealt with “Getting Started Again,” “Dealing With Rejection” and “Solitude versus Loneliness?” I would even recommend it for non-artists because of the message that a life lived with passion, whether for art or not, is the life well-lived.
The book is available from the SAQA bookstore under Guest Book Titles.
