Sketchbooks

Product Information

A sketchbook is a place where I can discuss ideas with myself, a place I work through and refine an idea for a good while before I will let it run around the studio, and then the world. In the last decade, independent publishing rapidly grew, with many emerging publishers utilising new technologies and the ability to produce books on small scales and at low costs. I drew less and less on paper – I usually worked directly onto the pots, with no preparatory drawings at all.

My sketchbooks do not make up a smooth, continuous series, as at different times in my career the sketchbook has played different roles. I may dismiss them or forget them, so I go back to see if a silly squiggle needs to be taken more seriously.

I have to feel I have developed an idea enough before committing to the labour-intensive version – beginning with postage stamp-size doodles, through to double page full-colour layouts that may take several hours. Very well known for his ceramics I found it ironic how beautiful they looked from afar and then close up they would be themed, some very challenging modern themes you wouldn’t expect from a dainty pretty vase.You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser Help for how to do this).

Bringing together his favourites for the first time and showing some of the finished works that result from these initial drawings, the result is a rich, beautiful book perfect for those who want to know more about an artist’s creative process. In the early years after college, sketchbooks were a way of keeping my practice going, as I had no other creative outlet; and I put several hours into each image, giving the books the obsessive, private quality of outsider art. A first-time collection of Grayson Perry’s sketches, Sketchbooks follows the evolution of his career from art school to the present day.
