A few days ago, working on the winter series, I wasn't feeling motivated or inspired. As I patched up a 'mistake' on a pot, my friends asked me not to patch it up and to leave it as is.  I was out of my 'comfort zone', however, I decided to take their advice. They mentioned Google's 20 Percent and I took that on that day and it was a major eye opener. I flipped through my sketches and decided to go off on a tangent and work on shapes and forms I liked but never actually made. I began building pots like I've never done before and it felt completely natural.
