  • The gentlest hug-in-your-ears chat

    Really loved listening to two friends Lucy and Elaine chat about Lucy’s career. It was interesting to compare and contrast my own journey as a potter; but I always love hearing about other artist’s and their careers, especially if it hasn’t been a linear path.

  • Inspiring!

    Listening from the beginning, after only just discovering this podcast. I’m not an artist; I am yet to manage a daily practice (even 5mins), but listening to Elaine and her guests is giving me the inspiration I need; thank you!
