in the fascinating world of ceramics, every piece that we create goes through a series of systems to ensure its quality before we launch it into the market. from the outset, it's important to understand that not every piece will meet our high standards; some might be classified as rejects. however, rather than viewing this as failure, consider it part of the preexploitative phase, where learning from what didn't work helps us improve. reject pieces are crucial in refining our craft and turning our next projects into masterpieces.
