Top tip for people starting out?
"Don’t put pressure on yourself to create something perfect. Clay is so therapeutic to work with, and the beauty is often found in the imperfections of something made by hand. Nobody is amazing from day one, but improving and finding your own style is so much fun, so remember to enjoy every step of it."
