  • Wonderful experience!

    We potters are mostly solitary artists, working away in our separate studios. I have listened to the podcast for years in my studio and car. I never fail to pick up useful information as Paul Blais opens our eyes to potters all over the world through his interviews. I am honored to be among those potters myself now. His passion for potters is a treasure and I really enjoyed the experience of sharing my clay story. Thank you Paul! Continued success to you!
