And as you walked in, I guess it would give you luck.

I don't know.

I think not.

We could make pots all day, but tax returns, that's the worst bit.

That maybe doesn't answer your question.

It can be frustrating when things break, though.

It can be sometimes when you've made something and you've put a lot of love into it and then it goes into the kiln and the kiln gods are just not kind to you.

That can be quite soul-destroying.

Sarah, what about you?

Do you have a piece that sticks in your mind?

Well, at the minute, I'm really enjoying making their little Astarte figures.

They're from Cyprus.

From 1700 to 1200 BC is when they are.

What I love about them is they've got these sort of big ears, this kind of almost beak-like nose, but they've got earrings.

And so you have to put the earrings in afterwards.

What I love about them is it jingles.

And so you've got this kind of lovely female figure.

Sometimes they're breastfeeding.

And they're also a bit like a rattle.

And at the minute, it's something I just like making them.
