As projects progress, my studio gets messier and messier.

I always think of it as good & necessary messiness.

プロジェクトが進んでくれるにつれて

工房のごちゃごちゃがすごいことになっていきます。

制作過程に必要な、いいごちゃごちゃと思うことにしています。

Trying out new combinations of clay.

Sometimes for various reasons, (different shrinkage & drying rates,

melting points etc...) additional materials are needed for the combination to work out.

This combination needs a little help with shivering.
