Evie May Adams is an artist, ceramicist, and illustrator from East Sussex, UK. Her work is rooted in the folklore and history of the local area, drawing inspiration from antiques and artefacts dredged from the sea or uncovered in the landscape, which she then combines with elements of modern design. She visited us in the Jackson\u2019s Studio to discuss her sketchbook practice, including the importance of playfulness, how her sketchbook serves as a visual sourcebook for her ceramic work, and the value of making work purely for herself.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Inside<\/a><\/p>\n

I usually have around two sketchbooks<\/a> I\u2019m drawing in at one time, each designated for different things; one for \u2018work\u2019 and one for \u2018play\u2019. My work sketchbook is where I map out thumbnails for commissions and sketches for pet portraits. I also use it to explore new ceramic shapes and design ideas. Anything to do with commissioning and selling goes in here.<\/p>\n

\"Inside<\/a><\/p>\n

I like to treat my play sketchbook as an artist\u2019s book. I draw for fun in here, or from life, making sure there are no thumbnails or plans. I\u2019ll be exploring things I\u2019m into or testing out new pens. This is the sketchbook that I grab and spend some time with when staring at a screen is becoming too much! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I feel quite precious about it; I make sure every page looks nice and rip out things I\u2019m not into. Perhaps it\u2019s like my own little portfolio of my work, just for me. I avoid looking at my \u2018for work\u2019 sketchbook when I\u2019m playing, but sometimes when I\u2019m working, I\u2019ll have a little peek into \u2018for play\u2019 to refresh my ideas.<\/p>\n

\"Inside<\/a><\/p>\n

The sketchbooks and paper I use are far from anything special. I really like the feeling of drawing on very cheap, thin paper, the stuff that makes a crinkly sound when you turn the page you\u2019ve drawn on and bleeds through with any type of pen. I\u2019ve tried using more expensive books, but I get very nervous about messing them up \u2013 something I\u2019ve been trying to get over my whole artistic career! The books I\u2019ve enjoyed using the most are notebooks, hardback, and no bigger than A5.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I keep a core collection of materials in my pencil case, or chucked into the bottom of my bag. A rubber, a pen, a couple of felt-tip sign pens in different colours, and a pencil. I know I can usually do what I want to do with just these items. However, if I\u2019m staying somewhere for a while, or I\u2019m just at home, I\u2019ll upgrade this to include scissors, glue, a graphite stick, and some more random pens I want to try out (these get swapped out regularly), and a thermal printer. The thermal printer is a new edition, and I\u2019m obsessed with it. I use it to print out reference photos and stick them in my books straight away. Very convenient and very cute. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Embarrassingly, my pencil case at the moment is an IKEA freezer bag! My last case recently smashed into a million pieces. It\u2019s grungy, but it works for me at the moment as it\u2019s very light and easy to see what I\u2019ve got inside. I promise I\u2019ll upgrade it soon!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I use mainly my thin \u2018single line\u2019 pens<\/a> and mechanical pencils<\/a>. I\u2019ve actually only ever used mechanical pencils over regular pencils since I discovered them at university and fell in love with their ease \u2013 no pencil sharpenings \u2013 and their solid line. However, you can still achieve a tonal drawing with them when using the right lead. I keep two on me, 2B and 4B. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been quite bogged down with big projects at the moment and have found it hard to make time for sitting with my sketchbook, so these are perfect \u2018grab and go\u2019 materials for when I suddenly have the urge or find myself with a few free hours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I refer back to my books quite a bit when making. Obviously, my work sketchbook, for the plans and thumbnails for commissions, but I will also use this book as a brain dump with motifs and imagery for ceramic pieces to sell. These will be a variety of shapes and creatures, far less thought out than in my play sketchbook. Things I\u2019ve seen or thought of in the middle of the night, \u2018I\u2019ve got to get that on a plate\u2019 \u2013 some of them copied out of old nature books, most of them straight from my imagination. My version of a notebook, I guess! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These pages will always be open when I\u2019m working on a ceramic collection. Usually alongside past work sketchbooks and their pages of scribbles. I\u2019ll sit with a stack of blank dishes, tiles, and plates. Then work through each one, sketching out an idea straight onto the piece, referring back to my drawings. After, I\u2019ll glaze them all in one go. I\u2019d also say that maybe my unglazed ceramics are an extension of my sketchbook, or at least the next small step before a finished piece, where I am refining an idea.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I feel that shape and form are very important to me in all areas of my work. I\u2019d like to think my drawings show this off by being precise and confident. This also really helps when translating them over from page to ceramic, helping me visualise the base layer of stain, where I\u2019d need to fill in or where I\u2019d need to take out. With the stains I work with, things can get very messy and muddy very quickly. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To have a nice, solid shape to start with usually helps everything fall into place, and luckily, I usually can lift these right out of my books, then add texture, brushstrokes, and sgraffito<\/a> detailing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019d say my advice for others wanting to make the most out of their sketchbooks, whether it be professional artists or someone just picking up drawing, is to try to remember that they are for you and only for you! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019d say that I still struggle with this, I am so very precious about my play sketchbook (but perhaps that is just me, making it look \u2018right\u2019, for me!) And comparing myself to artists who use their sketchbooks for amazing full-colour miniature works of art. I must remember, and you must remember, that no one has to see it if you don\u2019t want them to. Fill it with scribbles, fill it with paper cutouts, or just words. If it\u2019s feeding your practice and your mind, then you are doing something right.<\/p>\n
