  • My go-to podcast as a potter

    This is my go to podcast to have on while I’m working in the studio. I love hearing the stories and influences behind other people’s work, as it really makes me reflective of my own. Paul gets on such a great mix of guests as well.

  • 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!

    The Potters Cast is the people’s ceramics podcast. The enormous variety of perspectives and paths should help any clay artist develop their own career and studio practice.
