My Favourite Creative Podcasts
I absolutely love a good podcast. I listen to them on my morning walk with my dog Mack, in the studio when we are in full swing of production and in the car. There are so many great podcasts out...
We are Hiring
We are opening our studio

Its a free event and we would love you to come along and join us in the studio.

The Development of the Nerikomi Range
The entire point of this post is to reflect on my growth as a ceramic artist. I still constantly feel like I am not there yet. There are too many ideas in my head and I haven't been able to execute even 10% of them. Technical frustration, skill limitations, artistic frustration and external feedback all get to me. This is my reminder to you (and myself) that it is a process. Racing to the end is not possible but also not what is going to make the journey worthwhile. As I have gone through this journey from 2016 to now I have made 100s of mistakes, 100s of works that while I was proud of at the time I would happily see smashed now but I continue to move forward.
Pottery is not instant satisfaction and I am so grateful for that. Students always say to me 'how do i ....' and as insanely annoying as it is its practice.
Here is to practice. My practice, your practice moving forward, continuously improving and trying as hard as I can to enjoy all the bumps along the way.
