The experience of the maker, gained through many encounters with the ceramic, helps to improve the certainty of the production. This knowledge is called tric knowledge that is difficult to describe clearly in words. But by deliberately making failed objects, I have been able to improve my drawing skills. I think this is because I know how to fail. The flip side of failure is control over becoming what you want. Failures have expanded my knowledge of ceramic forms and possibilities. When it comes to anticipating and planning the next step, the most appropriate decision can be made in a short time. The drawing is an act in which the maker controls many factors at once: temperature, humidity, speed of the wheel, technique and tools. The final product depends on the decisions made by the maker over this period of time. I don't think there are right and wrong decisions, but rather decisions that meet expectations and decisions that don't meet expectations.
