In 2022, I took my first pottery course with a friend. It was a short two-day course over a weekend, which suited us as we were swamped on weekdays with our daytime jobs. I was going through a difficult time and I found that working with clay was therapeutic for me.
After the course I continued with the pottery slowly, fitting it in whenever I could. It wasn’t a regular occurrence as studio time was pricey, and its being far away from home and only open on weekdays meant that I spent only a few hours there each time after work, twice a week if I was lucky. I felt that with these limitations, my progress was also limited, and I often felt frustrated that I could not accomplish more in a short period.
I often feel frustrated with my lack of progress, still. I encounter failure a lot learning on my own, trial and error, gritting my teeth, researching my mistakes, and trying again, sometimes repeatedly. I sometimes feel impatient with myself; I have so many ideas for things I want to make but my skills don’t yet allow me to materialise them.
A few days ago, I sent this photo of a piece from my recent kiln unload to the same friend I took the first pottery course with. She was enthusiastic and said it was sophisticated and that it was incredible to see my improvement. I was surprised, as I had been down about my lack of progress, but now I suspect I have just been too close to the making all this time to see how far I’ve come.
I started late with pottery, you know, art was not greatly encouraged in my culture as something to be pursued. Making time for the things you want to do as an adult is difficult, but do a little bit each time, even 10 minutes a day dedicated to your hobby is time of your own. I have a long list of things I want to make and I may not be able to make them now, but I know that if I just keep going I’ll get there! Cheers to all of you for being so brave!

Careful planning of the shelf depths and spacings means that every inch is used to maximum effect and every item has its proper place. The draining rack folds up to leave the worktop below clear for food preparation.
