On social media an impression is created that everything is perfect. In my working method I want to maintain an experimental approach and all my works are one offs and are an evolution from the previous piece. In this way of working there will inevitably by a few duds. Sometimes pots come out the kiln and I know they are good ones, other times I’m not sure and I re work or live with them for a while. Some get reworked and still aren’t right and I decide they are not worth pursuing. Often I keep pots that I wouldn’t exhibit because they made some kind of breakthrough even if they’re not perfect. But if a piece just isn’t right and never will be and doesn’t say something new then it has to go. It’s actually a really important part of the making process. Don’t put up with having rubbish around the studio. I know some people will say that they liked that particular one that I just smashed but if I didn’t like it then it’s not leaving the studio. It was a good clear out and I’m ready to go again. #artiststudio #makingart #ceramicstudio #wip #ceramicart #contemporaryceramics #studioceramics #handbuiltceramics #artistatwork #potteratwork
