Hi Ben, I have been listening to Tales of a Red Clay Rambler and love hearing juicy stuff about making pots. I already regret not making it out to Calgary for your workshop at Northmount Pleasant. Your interviews have guided me through a tough decision (its not over yet!) whether to go back to school or whether to dive in and set up a studio in my home after 10 years working in community studio. Something Doug Peltman said makes me want to hear more on what it means to be a parent and a professional potter. Could you round up a discussion on that? Some questions in particular that I have are what are the different stressors and satisfactions that father/potters have and mother/potters. What sources of support are most helpful to them and why. It'd be great to hear from potters at a variety of stages in their careers. Love your insights!

Hello Kerri,
DeleteThanks for listening and I'm glad you enjoyed this episode. Your suggestion for a panel on pottery and parenthood is a good one. I'll start rounding up a group for that in the near future.
So what did you decide on school vs. studio life?
Hope all is well up north.
