In this video, Julie Burstein talked about a small clay pot that she made in college. Its name is Raku, which is a kind of pottery that began in Japan as a way of making bowls for the Japanese tea ceremony. She loves it because it allows her to play with elements, shape the pot out of clay, and choose a glaze. She also said that Raku is a wonderful metaphor for the process of the creativity.
She mentioned that creativity grows out of everyday experience. And letting go is a part of the experience. Creativity also grows from the broken places. The best way to lean about anything is through stories, after that she tells a story about work and play and about four aspect of life that we need to embrace in order to flourish our creativity. She tells stories about The filmmaker Mira Nair, The novelist Richard Ford, and also Richard Serra.
The four aspect that we need to embrace in order to flourish our creativity are experience, challenge, limitation, and loss. The embrace of loss is the oldest and most constant of human experiences.
