Grayson Perry has been using sketchbooks as a place to record and develop ideas - whether for pots, tapestries, clothes, houses or exhibitions, or for nothing at all - for over thirty years. When I managed to set up my first ceramic studio, in 1986, all my creative energy became focused on clay.

I drew less and less on paper – I usually worked directly onto the pots, with no preparatory drawings at all. At art college we were indoctrinated with the notion that sketchbooks were a central plank of being an artist.

Also available are titles from major artist book publishers Printed Matter, Patrick Remy, Tarmac and InOtherWords and magazines from Heavy Traffic, Mousse, Real Review, Al Hayya, Luncheon, BUTT and Dirty Magazine.

I think my attitude towards the sketchbook originates from when my grandmother gave me a little stack of very cheap notebooks. I treasured them and filled them with diagrams of fantasy aircraft and plans of racing cars, adventure comics and war scenes. uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/sketchbooks-by-grayson-perry-book-review-class-act-from-arts-great-outsider-a6895376.This site uses Google Analytics which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solution on the web for helping us to understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience.
