Sorry Will, but I’ve got pots to do tonight…

This week legendary music mogul and entrepreneur Will.I.am gave an insightful lecture all about digital design and technology at the infamous Royal College of Art.

A hot ticket on the design scene, with Burberry’s Christopher Bailey amongst the alumni audience, I decided to pass up my seat as Wednesday night is, after all, pottery class…

Under the eagle eye of my ceramics tutor, Barbara, the past three weeks I have been mould making, slicking test tiles with slips and glazes and pattern press moulding all sorts of bits and bobs into clay.

I am currently working on ideas for simple beakers and carafes that one day may (or may not) come to see the light of day but until then I am loving being a student once more. My simple pleasures 2012 mantra is riding high and life is good, so sorry Will – I just had pots to do.
