Towards the end of my time at St Martins, the ceramics department bought this machine that made teapots and I can remember thinking it was so pathetic. Instead of expecting people just to decorate something that is already there – moulding people to fit in with the system, to make it look pretty – what you should be doing with arts education is giving people the tools so that they can invent a totally new world of their own. Rather than fitting in with your shitty system that doesn’t seem to work anyway.
