Version 1 Edited interview
I like how pottery is very unpredictable, clay in its raw state can dry to quickly, cause stress cracks, it's an enormous subject, I find it's like making a curry and playing with your spices until you create a consistent outcome your happy with. I have worked with pottery for 12 years those years included 3 years of intensely playing with recipes and making mistakes. I have 30 years of painting experience and a degree in fine art, I love art however there are many difficulties in becoming an artist, making an income is very difficult due to how limited and lacking opportunities are in the art world. Because of this I needed to find something to do with my degree, so I went into teaching, and it sucked the life force out of me , there was no time for my own work while teaching and I was fighting to regain creativity, but I had to think about making money and I still do now I have to think about marketing my art and paying the bills for my business. I enjoy working in a creative community because we can learn from each other, that's why in my workshops I want to help to get the creativity out of others and give them the confidence to tap into something they will be happy about producing. The creative process needs to flow and bounce its limitless, that’s why I like working faster and sporadically dipping between different protects, as much as I want to, I’m just too busy to sit and paint. I coexist In a collaborative group of female creators and makers; we support each other by networking and giving each other inspiration. My inspiration often comes from my customers, they have done so many things in their own lives and they have such interesting stories , and the social impact of my business feels very important for my creativity. I love seeing allot of art online form lots of different people but some of my favorite artists are Nataly Rhyme , Kurt Jackson and Jolynn nelson. In my ceramics work I tend to pursue themes of habitat, weeds, birds’, manmade houses and natures forming houses, seascape and harbour’s. My work is very maverick it's not tied to a particular subject, I like using many different techniques and I then simplified my products to satisfy what shops need creating a body of 7 or 8 products is important. It takes about 4 week to complete my work proses. I use white earthen as it's a low fire clay for my own work and the pottery that can be chosen to paint this makes it energy efficient and cost effective. A typical day of work for me starts at half 8, I glaze pottery , unload the climb , have my staff wrap products, I clean, order stock and sometimes set time aside for planning and developing products that I want to sell. I've expanded my business pottery painting business by focusing on canvas painting workshops. As the constants of potter painting is to exhausting, I want to the grow these workshops to be the focus of my business but first it needs to be supported by the pottery painting.
