An interview with the 'Pot Yer Tits Away Luv' creater, Emma Low
What excites you about your practice? & have you got a favourite piece?
I find everything exciting about it! I never set out to be where I am, it just organically grew to where I am now so the fact that so many people relate to my work is super exciting. I've always enjoyed creating things so to be able to do this full-time is a dream. I couldn't choose, especially as my pots vary so much. It's been nice to see how my work has developed though and unsuprisingly I much prefer my work now to what it was when I began.
Your pots sell out in minutes, do you find it stressful being so in demand?
Yes! This is probably one of the hardest things about the work I do. I just have to try and remember that it's a positive thing that people are so interested, that I'm only one person and I can only do so much. I'm definitely not going to give into the pressure of producing work for the sake of demand. I want every pot to be of a certain standard and that takes time. Most people are very understanding and that helps a lot.
​
Diversity is obviously a key factor in which you implement within your work, do you think there is enough diversity within the creative industry?
I don't think there's enough diversity in any industry! It just so happens that I'm part of the creative industry and I think diversity makes my work more interesting. I'd probably go mad if I just made the same exact thing over and over again. To me it was just a given that if I was going to produce the work I do that I'd want it to be as varied as possible so people felt like they were being represented equally
