Artist Graham Hay thoughts on ceramics, art, The Arts, making, 3D printing, social organisation, whatever. Saturday, May 16, 2015. Looking back I have fond childhood memories of making things in clay. There is a lot of talk about cutbacks in school and art programs in 2015, so I thought. Contact details on my website.

Recent attitudes to art miss the point. Artists make art because they must. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, artists gotta to make art. But how to go about it? A good way is to work as a group in a cooperative studio. It helps pay the rent and sorts out all those petty inhibitions and pretensions quicker than you can say Moet and Chandon.
