Clay in the Potter’s Hands

The Bible tells us that God is like a potter, and we are like clay. God hovers over His creation, centering us, shaping us, and transforming us--often in ways we could never imagine. At every stage God carefully works, and ends up making glorious art out of even the most ordinary experiences of our lives.

In Clay in the Potter’s Hands, Diana Pavlac Glyer welcomes artists and non-artists alike into her studio to explore the rich implications of this metaphor and learn more about this timeless work of art.

This book also features in-depth sidebars for potters about making pottery written by ceramist Eddy Efaw, and original photography by Quay San created specifically for this new edition.

Diana Pavlac Glyer is a potter, a painter, and an avid gardener. She teaches in the Honors College at Azusa Pacific University. She enjoys the work of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien and has published books and articles about their creative process including Bandersnatch: C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Creative Collaboration of the Inklings and A Compass for Deep Heaven: Navigating the C.S. Lewis Ransom Trilogy.
