The Healing Season of Pottery

About

A burned-out TV broadcast writer quits her job and enrolls in a small pottery studio, where the slow, physical work of shaping clay begins to reshape her understanding of what a good life might look like. The studio's teacher, the other students, and the rhythms of the craft itself become a quiet education in patience, presence, and the difference between producing content and making something with your hands. Yeon Somin writes the healing process without shortcuts — the protagonist doesn't transform overnight, and the pottery doesn't fix her so much as give her something honest to do while she fixes herself. The novel is warm, sensory, and deeply respectful of craft as practice rather than product. A book about the slow work of coming back to yourself — one imperfect bowl at a time.
