Sometime ago I found myself walking into a potbank and have never left. The noise, smell, heat and rhythm have in time become part of my life. I invite you into my story, in the hope that you may connect with a creative history that has inspired and uplifted a community under the unifying power of heritage and craftsmanship in this city for over 300 years. I am by definition a factory girl, my value is my count (400 pieces a day) but my trade is so much more than that. It comes with a pride and understanding that here in this city the people and the pots are much the same, meaning that one would not be here without the other. Scraps is a project that is made in a potbank, from materials that come from a potbank and ultimately is inspired by a potbank. With this project I hope to keep production ceramics involved in the conversation around pottery in general, and celebrate what it is today.
