Pottery Studio Vlog

No two days are the same in the studio and I thought it would be fun (and educational) to share with you a week in the life of a full time potter and pottery teacher.

    Welcome to Summer in the studio! I’ve been traveling a lot and it’s been so hot that I have not been able to run kilns or work as much in the studio as usual. Because of this I’ve combined most of July into one vlog episode.

  • 3 days in NYC, Street Food, Cafes, The MET and Koreatown

    We chose to st...
