The Mirazur piece that slumped in the kiln and became a bestseller is every potter's secret hope. I make pottery myself, so the kiln deciding what a piece wants to be made me smile. I also loved her point that an asymmetrical plate lets a very precise dish feel spontaneous, and reads differently depending on how you turn it. Did she say how she convinced the factory to keep the "failed" shape in production?
Oh how cool that you make pottery as well! She didn’t say how she convinced the factory to keep the shape but I know when she started working with the factory they were recently under new ownership so were very flexible early partners.

Just had a look at her work, looks amazing!
Love the interview and the plates look beautiful even in pictures.
The photos do catch them quite well, even more beautiful in person!
