Always when I work behind the potter's wheel, I feel this strong fascination for the center out of which everything is formed, this spiral movement from the clay out of the center.
This inspired me to make scales as a meditation tool.
All these scales have a clear, often gold plated accent in the center.

This center can be a simple golden or silver circle, or a spiritual symbol like an Aum, Ankh, Celtic cross, a pentagram or other (personal) symbol.
Most of these scales have a diameter between 50 - 55 cm and a center that is surrounded by one or more circles embedded with glass.

The inlayed glass in these circles melts during the final glaze fire into a beautiful flowing and varied colored layer of glass.
The tension during the cooling down process causes the sparkling craquelé glass.
When used as a meditation tool one can place little candle's on the scale.
