From the editor
Clay is the most patient material we know. It remembers every thumb that pressed it, every crack, every fire. This winter issue is about the people who work with it, from a potter who fires her kiln once a year to a family still making bricks from the clay of the riverbank, and about what we do with things once they break.

p. 8: On mending a cracked bowl
The bowl had been my grandmother's, and the crack had been there as long as I could remember. An essay about repair, gold, and learning not to hide the break.
