Fixing Broken, A Golden Journey Nancy WalkerPender Island, BC Dimension 3" x 9" x 11" Médium Porcelain clay, rock, shell When pieces break in the kiln, we are conditioned to discard them. I was shocked to see my porcelain lifeboat had shattered in the kiln. I have saved these pieces and have come to see that they tell a different story than I had intended. We have all been broken in some way at some time in our lives, and the challenge is learning how to fix and cope with our brokenness so we can carry on. So I did not throw away these broken pieces; I saved them; because isn’t this what lifeboats are all about?
