My sourdough starter exploded all over my kitchen

Now I have dough on the ceiling.

Seriously? That's not ambition, it's neglect. You probably left the jar sealed too tight or didn't feed it on time. Now you're stuck cleaning dough off surfaces, which is just a boring chore. Nothing artistic about a kitchen covered in goop.

That starter's got some real ambition, huh? Your kitchen is now a modern art installation.

Modern art installation, sure, but that dough gets everywhere. I've had starters go wild before, and the key is to use a damp cloth to wipe it up before it dries. Charles_burns28 isn't wrong about it being a chore, but it's fixable if you catch it early. Also, keep your starter in a bigger jar next time, gives it room to grow without exploding.
