Join potter Akiko Hirai in her studio as she prepares for her forthcoming major exhibition at Goldmark in Uppingham. She discusses how mistakes are a crucial part of moving the work forward. Her inspiration often draws from personal experience and her connection with nature. Balancing long hours of production with experimentation is Akiko's key to staying motivated and, whilst her new ideas may sometimes face resistance, her passion for the work is fuelled by developing her artistic vision. goldmarkart.com
