Hi Des,
My home is immaculate, my little tropical garden is a showplace, and I'm very polite to strangers. I just don't expect to be neat and tidy when I'm making things out of mud.

I'm going to draw a long bow here.
I have the strangest feeling that attitudes to self,
your working environment & your environment in
general have a great degree of connection.
So, if you don't mind your mess in the pottery
do you mind the mess you/others may make in
your street/village/country/world?
Des
ps. attitudes to self, significant others &
strangers also have a great degree of connection
to each other, but, that's for another day.

How can we possibly keep things clean?

completely subjective. They should be as clean as the people
using them want them to be. If the potters don't mind the mess, why is
it a problem?
