The potter brings her work up to the table. The hessian cloth hiding the birthday set or the lamp or the animal figure is lifted, and one of the judges begins to cry. Through tears: it is absolutely brilliant. The potter is tearing up and it gets me sniffling along with them because there are many risks involved, many things that could go wrong in making clay come to life. What starts off as a ball of beige earth begins to stretch and grow in the guidance of the potter’s hands into something they will dedicate to someone dear, perhaps something that represents themselves. But they have to mind the consistency of the clay so that it doesn’t crack.
