Galileo mugs in progress. The schematic of the solar system is something I found on redit, & was able to contact the artist (Josh Sherrington) who gave me permission to make a stamp of it for my work. https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/37s84s/unofficial_flag_of_earth_josh_sherrington_2012/
(I added Pluto)
And the quote (likely apocryphal) is attributed to Galileo. Translated it means "and yet it moves".
I've spent the past few days alternating between grief & rage. The moments of peace I have found are from focusing on my pottery & writing.
The kiln offered these up today. And honestly, e pur si muove is as good an anthem as any in these times. "And yet it moves" says to me there is truth. And it exists regardless of what others may say, just as the earth revolves around the sun despite the church in Galileo's time forcing him to recant.
I'm planning to make more of these tomorrow.
