Crafts magazine have put together some advice ahead of New Designers, we picked out our favourites to share with you.

‘Try not to be too emotional about making mistakes. If you’re not experimenting and trying new things then you’re not pushing yourself forward. The very nature of experimentation means that you’ll likely have a few minor failures along the way, but you shouldn’t be disheartened – many of the mistakes that I’ve made have informed a positive outcome later down the line – Giles Miller, designer.

‘Don’t worry about which path you’re going to take: worry about the work and the path will sort itself out. It’s really easy when you’re at university to look at what other people are doing or have done before and imagine that you’re going to follow in their footsteps. Rather than thinking about someone else’s career path, focus on having a really interesting, creative practice.’ – Matt Smith, ceramicist.
