nothing came out right the first time. and I mean that literally: cracked shells, glazes that had their own ideas, pearls that disappeared under layers of color, shapes that needed to be made wrong before they could be made well. this is what learning through making actually looks like. not a straight line. more like a conversation with a material that doesn't always agree with you. I think it’s funny. I posted these on ig few hours ago and by checking the reach of the post it was one of the worst in the latest period. And I think it’s because we are so not used to see an ugly picture, something broken, something unfinished, something that is objectively not so good, polished, curated, polite. But these “failures”, these outcomes are just part of any creative process. If you don’t pass through these, u would never get to the finish line.
