Hi there! For my masters in UX Psychology, I am designing a mobile application to support beginner potters in learning pottery at home [without the need for specialist equipment such as a kiln]. The experience also aims to educate users on and maximise the therapeutic benefit of practicing pottery. I am now in the design stage of my application and am looking to recruit participants for ongoing research and testing on the application prototypes. If you'd be happy to participate in this, please fill out the google form attached > https://forms.gle/sR6VsyFkmZKWnv5KA Thank you

Hi, Thank you so much for your valuable feedback! Totally understand how checking the tip pf a profile could be helpful Keep creating

Hey Chilly, Thank you for your input! Jodie

This is a great idea, thank you for the insight Callie!

Do you practise pottery at home? Please help my research

Hi Marilyn, Thanks for getting back to me! Great idea with the hands free app - maybe I'll give this a try Keep creating! Jodie

Hey Johnny, Thank you so much fir your input! All the best, Jodie

Hi Pres, Thank you for your input! I am sorry to hear about your arthritis, my mum also has this and is a keen crocheter so understand the difficulties it can cause. However, glad to hear you are finding ways to overcome and keep creating. I agree, there is something about being immersed in the clay that I love to, I am a very messy crafting [and perhaps person in general!] It is for sure a difficult learning curve, and I understand your point about the space to find a way to overcome this. Although, there are always ways to innovate! Thank you and all the best, Jodie

Hi Min, Great advice - thank you! I hope I provided some more clarity to Marilyn's request. I would love to keep you updated on the insights from the research and share the design element with you, as I will also be seeking feedback from this [for example, if it is an app] Thanks, Jodie

Hi Denice, Thanks so much for your response, I also got hooked from art class in school! Although I did take break then ended up teaching ceramics at a summer camp [unqualified of course, as they were not professional classes] but this reignited my love for ceramics and I bought an at home kit [studios are less accessible to me as an English speaking living in Italy!] I love that you bought a kiln instead of a couch! It is amazing to hear how your studio has progressed in that time. Keep creating and thank you for your help! Jodie

Hi Callie, Thank you so much for your input! It is so interesting to here the perspective of something who practises pottery professional [which I really admire] You make a good point about not being able to buy kits for single projects as with other crafts, I had not considered this! I also totally understand your point about using screens with messy hands [I myself am a very messy potter]. Perhaps the experience could be less tactile focused as our hands are busy when doing pottery but support in other ways, such as through visuals, sound or vibrations. Any thoughts on this?

Hi Marilyn, thank you for responding and asking further questions I am still defining the research, but yes I want to design an app [or some other digital interface] that supports the pottery experience in a non distracting way, for example as you said simulations, vibrations, sound etc. I imagine it will aid mostly in hand pottery as this is most accessible [not everyone has a wheel at home - for example I don't] Would love to know your experiences of practising at home, and if you think there is space for a digital 'assistant'! Thanks, Jodie

Hi all, I am a keen potter [having studied at school, taught at camp and now engaging with pottery at home]. For my masters thesis in UX Psychology , I am looking at how I could develop a digital interface to enhance the pottery experience at home. [emphasis on enhance, not replace nor distract from the physical experience] If you engage with pottery at home, I'd love to know: - how did you start? [e.g did you take a class, see it online etc] - what are you using [e.g store bought materials, pottery kits] - what are the challenges you face doing pottery at home? - do you think integrating a digital element, such as an app, with your practise could improve the pottery experience? how do you see a digital element aiding you while you practise pottery at home? Your input is so appreciated. Thank you!
