What does it take to become a full-time potter and find your unique voice in the world of pottery? Join me as I chat with the talented Ashley Bevington about her journey from taking a ceramics class in undergrad to diving headfirst into the world of full-time pottery making. Ashley shares her captivating story of creating ice cream-themed pottery and the importance of staying true to oneself while taking inspiration from others.
Together, we explore the challenges Ashley has faced since going full-time, the significance of maintaining a structured schedule, and how her everyday life and experiences shape her pottery. We also discuss her thought-provoking sculptural pottery, which deals with coping mechanisms, and the valuable insights she gained during her residency at Watershed. Ashley's heartfelt story demonstrates the power of incorporating moments from life into one's art.
In this engaging conversation, Ashley and I also dive into the process of discovering her unique voice in pottery. We discuss how staying true to yourself while learning from others can lead to finding your individual artistic voice. By questioning her creations and focusing on what she enjoys, Ashley found her pottery niche. We also touch on the importance of embracing overwhelming moments and pushing yourself to try new things to evolve your voice even further.
