So when thinkin’ of stuff that could be sold, I think of popular or everyday items. So i.e. mugs. A regular cylindrical pottery piece with a handle. I’ve attempted this 3 times in the last hour with no success. 

I take a break for lunch. Think to myself: What am I doing wrong? I mead the clay, I center the clay, I slow my speed down, I use plenty of water. All technical things. So I believe I’m not doing of the technical things wrong. What else could there be?

Making an ordinary mug…. I’m not ordinary, why should my mugs be? That’s not a reflection of me. But I get worried that people won’t want to buy my items, my pieces, or more so my version of ordinary pieces. 

Don’t have a preconceived idea. Just let it create itself. It’ll turn out in a new and amazing way. You can work with whatever you make.
