Pilcher started creating his work in his “Rascal Ware” series in 2002. The Rascal Ware project involves a fictional company, Rascal Ware Pottery, and its several imaginary employees: Junior Bucks, Georgette Ore, Mosley Bunkham, Hairy Potter, and Shakespeare. Each character that Pilcher adopts reflects a different point of view or “quirk."
“After a lot of thought, shaped by a provocative, existential question from Tony Hepburn – ‘If you knew that nobody, anywhere, would EVER see your work, would it change what you make?” I decided to employ the formerly silent characters of my personality; some of the dozen or so members of the committee meeting that is my mind . . . Rascal Ware is equal parts literature and pottery. I write stories about life in the pottery and then make pots to illustrate the stories.”
The character of Georgette Ore is a woman of undetermined age who explains that the recent bent of her pottery has been inspired by a line from the classic motion picture, "The Graduate," wherein it is suggested to Benjamin that the future is in plastics. She treats her clay as if it were plastic; heated and malleable.
