Advice.What is the best advice you have received? Tell us any benefits you have experienced. What advice would you give to an aspiring maker?
When I was in the master course, my tutor told me “you are way too polite and it can be seen through your work as well. Try to destroy yourself.” That was the starting point that I made about my personality.
