I was happy to sit down recently with Rebecca Ickes Carra from The Maker’s Playbook Podcast. We had an in depth conversation about making a living as a full time potter. We cover everything from parenting to the impact that pottery making has on the environment.

The 18th Annual Asparagus Valley Pottery Trail is this weekend April 30th and May 1st in person!

I am located in Greenfield on the northern section of the Trail. Be sure to visit me and my guest potters Cara Taylor and Noel Bailey.

You and a friend walk into a potter's studio, or a shop that sells handmade goods. You gravitate to the beautifully crafted porcelain mug... it is quiet just like you like your mornings. It's light green celadon color is deliciously soft looking, and has a translucent quality about it. You pick it up... oh so comfortable. You look at the price, and you put it back down, and say to yourself, I can't spend $45 on a mug.
