When I made food my job I knew I needed a no-pressure creative outlet and found it in pottery. Have dabbled with watercolours too and love the idea of that book. Thanks for the recommendation.

I am trying pottery again too. It’s so hard, clay is unforgiving but I’m enjoying the challenge

I find it very meditative. And you can’t check your phone when your hands are covered in clay!

Yum! Watercolour is a very satisfying hobby! We have a weekly sketch club in our little town and many of our sketchers also enjoy using watercolour. It’s so portable, and forgiving.

That moment you realise the rest of life and what you do for 'work' have few, if any, boundaries can be a funny mix of elation (the holy grail of being paid to do something you love!) and WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NOTION OF BEING A ROUNDED HUMAN WITH OTHER INTERESTS!
