Earning money by selling your own work is an attractive prospect, but it is easy to become attached to some pieces after working on them for many hours. Price lists accompanied students’ work at the RMIT Unearth Ceramics graduate show at Skepsi gallery on Swanston St 17-28th November and were part of the process that encouraged students to sell their work and ultimately detach from it.

Marie Retpen is from Denmark and specialises in blown glass. Marie graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2008 and for this autumn’s show brought her new Melted Lights.
