William: Charles Aveman. Good morning. Thanks for joining me on my blog.
CA: My pleasure.
William: Age and profession please.
CA: 42. Potter.
William: I understand you make your own clothes.
CA: That’s right.
William: Why?
CA: I used to wear sharp, designer clothes. Armani suits, Gucci shoes, Jermyn Street bespoke shirts.
William: As potters are wont to do.
CA: Exactly.
William: What brought about the change?
CA: I realised people saw me as a set of clothes and not as a person.
William: Occupational hazard.
CA: Yes and no.
William: So now people see you as an ordinary guy and appreciate your personality more.
CA: Absolutely. You’ve got it in one.
William: Does your personality attract comment?
CA: Much more frequently these days.
William: So success?
CA: In a nutshell, yes.
William: Did you have any training in clothes making?
CA: No. I’m a compulsive autodidact. My artistic background helped.
William: Cool. What made you chose animal skins?
CA: What could be more natural?
William: Why did you choose goat?
CA: Very warm in winter.
William: Quite. Did you get any training in curing animal skins?
CA: Like I said I’m an autodidact.
William: No flies on you, metaphorically speaking.
CA: Ha! Ha!
William: Other advantages must be always getting the bus or the train carriage to yourself.
CA: Absolutely. How did you know... why are you breathing from a respirator?
William: Chronic lung condition. Minute’s up. Many thanks Charles.
CA: No problem.
