  • Take a look inside the London studio of artist Grayson Perry.
    Describing pottery as his 'gimmick', Perry demonstrates his process and explains why he wants people to be able to just enjoy art, rather than having to interpret it.

    Grayson Perry is just excellent, honest and down to earth, I admire that in his work and himself.

      He doesn't take himself seriously at all and because of that he's a more serious artist than most working today. Love him.

    "...an exercise in controlled disappointment..." Sounds like my entire life! Grayson = top bloke.

    I love the skill that goes along with the artistry. He does all his own work and doesn't have a string of people realising his vision. That skill can only be achieved by long hours of work. It takes him back to the Arts and Crafts era which inspires me most.

    i really like what he said about looking at your work and saying "that'll do" cos i so often feel like every piece has to be better or at least almost the best thing i've ever made. you know you think you have to be getting better every time. but it's always just practice, forever. perspective is good.

    So glad I study three of his artworks (Huhne Vase, 'I am a man' and Object in the Foreground) for my Art History A-Level course, he's a top bloke.

    Grayson Perry is one of the most diverse artists of the 21st century - this guy really 'gets' it. Love, love, love...and his exhibition int he RA this year was spectacular. Brilliant!!!!

    Until this bollocks year of 2020, I didn't know much - didn't think much - of Grayson Perry. It seemed pottery was indeed his "gimmick', along with his transvestism, that he was famous and gushed about for the show he put on, not the work he did. One of my lockdown silver linings (and we've been much better off in Canada, but still...) has been to really discover Grayson and his work - as a maker of art and documentary. Those who are balking at his recent interview reference to "dead wood" need to not only read that entire interview but also to see and hear this one. I don't think he's changed or gentrified or become all that much more part of the elite, because for him - like many - it comes to the down to the work, from start to finish. Hope to see it, and the Tate, in person some day... Good luck with Lockdown 2.0

      Thankyou but you’re missing the point and I’m glad you’re sharing with me.
      You make great points too.
      However I’m saying if you make things just beautiful.
      People won’t give it second thought and not consider other meanings.
      Art is visual, Art is beautiful and having some ideas (messages/personal story) in it as well.
      Makes it last longer with people but also generations to come.

      everything isn't going to be perfect. especially w/ pottery. you have to accept what happens. "acceptance is true happiness. all else is suffering."
