Having painted as a hobby for many years, I realised that actually I prefer to work in 3D. And the unpredictability in what comes out of a kiln after a firing freed me up from trying to create perfection. The lack of control enforced by the firing process whilst stressful at times is also a great way to avoid being too precious about what you create. It’s amazing how what at first seems like a disappointment can turn out to be a happy accident and lead the creative process down unexpected routes.
