As someone who works in a very organic way and rarely knows what result I’m looking to create until it appears, your words definitely resonate with me. I had previously become disillusioned with my work as a result of seeing ‘perfect’ clay products online and, naively assuming that they were entirely handmade, felt that my own work didn’t match up. It’s only recently that I discovered that there’s a huge array of machines and tools and moulds etc, which are used by many people to produce such results! While there is decidedly a market for this type of work it’s just not ‘me’, so it’s back to doing my own thing now. Thank you !

An artist is a poet in his or her own medium. When an artist produces a good piece, that work has mystery, it is alive.<br />Not sure where I read it and I hope I quoted it correctly. The post you made about the artistic perfection was great and said so much. I hate the assembly line look. If you have ever seen machine made canes, you know what I mean. All exactly alike.
