Masterclass with Adrian Bates

摘要

With a background in graphics and teaching, working with ceramics might have been seen as an afterthought, but in fact it has become what I think of as my first 'proper' career. In 2000, I decided to take a pottery evening class - mostly as an antidote to the frustrations of my day job in graphics, but once I'd started, I was blown away by the experience. For the first time since leaving school (where there was a lot of art and craft) I reconnected with my hands creatively and began a process that has become central to my life.
