Jonathan Adler's 30 year career is being celebrated at the Museum of Art & Design in a show titled "The Mad, MAD World of Jonathan Adler," which looks at his ceramic work over the past 30 years.

In this episode, we sit down with Becca Jane Koehler, a ceramic artist and illustrator based in Nashville, TN. We visited Becca at her home studio back in May while passing through the area and had a great conversation about her creative journey. We've followed Becca's work on Instagram for a long time, so was really great to see her work in person. Becca started out in product design at Target, creating furniture, dinnerware, and bedding. Since then, she's worked as a freelance illustrator and built a career that spans ceramics and design. We talk about transitioning between creative fields, building a freelance career, and how she balances multiple disciplines while turning her home into a space that reflects her style.A great lunchtime listen!

After more than fifty episodes exploring topics of general interest—always through the lens of chemistry and ceramic production—we've decided to have some fun.We posed a few simple questions to artificial intelligence, asking it to write a short text about chemistry with complete freedom to choose the themes and highlights.The result? Amusing, sometimes absurd—mostly accurate, but not always.As we know, Large Language Models (the technology behind AI's ability to understand and generate text) can produce content that sounds convincing and is often correct, yet it's not immune to errors or even clichés. With so much information available online, inaccuracies are just a step away.That's why it's essential to keep in mind that this is, above all, an experiment—and, let's not forget, just a bit of fun!

Join Kelli & Bob 'On the Road' as they visit several stops and share unique stories, including a breathtaking re-creation of the 17th-century tall ship, we visit Kathleen Gagan, founder of Peony's Envy, a potter who blends chemistry with creativity to craft vibrant and functional art, a charming escape full of history and vintage vibes, and more!

Tim Clark, also know as The Half Blind Potter. Tim lost the vision in my left eye in Dec of 2020 and discovered pottery in late spring of 2021.  Ceramics has played a huge role in Tim's recovery and has actually provided two different avenues of advocacy and giving back to the visually impaired community. In 2023 Tim started the "Blindfold Challenge" to benefit The Fun Eye Fund.  It is a charity that raises money for those that are in need of a prosthetic eye but may have a financial challenge in covering the cost due to lack of insurance or insurance not covering the cost of a prosthetic eye. https://ThePottersCast.com/1140

An American born artist dedicated to developing new techniques of glass working, Joshua Hershman combines optical physics with the fluidity of glass to make his contemporary sculpture. By harnessing light though hand-polished lenses, he employs unique methods of casting, coldworking, and photography in his boundary pushing work.  Hershman states: “My work offers meditations on the complexities within the concept of photography and the repercussions of the camera's impact on culture. The incredibly creative and destructive nature of photography is both inspiring and alarming to me. It has helped bring our global society closer together but also driven us desperately apart. It can teach us or deceive us, show us the furthest reaches of space, or the closest representations of matter itself. It is these contrasting realities that exist within photography, which inspire my works of contemporary art.” Being born with no peripheral vision or depth perception, decades of vision therapy led Hershman to his lifelong fascination with the complex nature of the visual system and the science of light and optics. By using cameras themselves as frames for his experimental photographic processes, he asks us to look more closely into the simple act of taking a photograph. His work focuses on the significance that film and photography have played on the development of contemporary global culture.  More recently Hershman's work has focused on the torus — the most common shape found in galaxy formations and human cellular biology. His series, Messier Objects, was named after the French astronomer Charles Messier, who famously catalogued anomalous objects that confused his search for comets in the night sky. Originally from Colorado, Hershman was born in 1981 and first began working with glass at the age of 17. In 2004, he graduated from the Craft and Design Program at Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada. In 2008, he went on to earn a BFA with Distinction from the California College of the Arts in Oakland, California. Most recently, he completed the Master's program at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in Sculptural/Dimensional Studies.  In 2009, Hershman had his first solo exhibition at Pismo Glass in Denver and went on to participate in many group exhibitions and art fairs including Sofa Chicago, the Armory Show, Art Hamptons, SF Art Market, the Habatat Invitational, and many others. He loves to teach and has led workshops and lectures at California College of the Arts, Public Glass in San Francisco, Pittsburgh Glass Center, and at D&L Glass Supply in Denver. Hershman has received numerous awards, was included in the Bullseye Emerge international glass competition, Young Glass 2017, and can be found in numerous private collections. His work is included in the permanent collection of the Ebeltoft Museum in Denmark, The National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, and Museum of Glass, Tacoma (MOG). In fact, MOG exhibited Hershman's sculpture in the nation's first LGBTQ+ glass exhibition titled Transparency. He has been invited to participate in several artist-in-residence programs including North Lands Creative Glass in Scotland, D&L Art Glass in Colorado, the Appalachian Center for Craft in Tennessee, and most recently completed a semester-long residency at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. The artist worked for Berengo studio in Murano, Italy, where he made work for the world's leading contemporary artists. Living and operating a private studio in Los Angeles, California, Hershman makes his personal work and also operates the Glass Foundry, which provides casting and coldworking services to other artists. Additionally, he is employed at Judson Studios, where he's currently working on a large-scale architectural glass project for James Jean. “Casting glass was something I could do in isolation in my studio which was a huge advantage during the pandemic. Without the need for a furnace or lots of facilities, this process allowed me to make a highly challenging sculpture without the need for a team of assistants or expensive equipment. I think what draws me most to lost wax casting is the constant challenge and problem solving that is required to get a high-quality casting.”

In this episode of the Kankakee Podcast, host Jake LaMore sits down with local ceramic artist Courtney Zimmerman (she/her), whose eye-catching, colorful pottery has become a staple in Kankakee County—and far beyond, thanks to a growing online following. Courtney shares her artistic journey from growing up in rural Momence to discovering her true calling in ceramics at Millikin University, and the winding path from student to full-time creator.They delve deep into Courtney's creative process and what it's really like to make a living as a ceramic artist, busting the “starving artist” myth and revealing the hours of hard work (and occasional broken pots) behind every beautiful mug and vase. From her early clunky bowls to the vibrant, texture-rich pieces she's known for today, Courtney explains the technical skill, patience, and mindset required for the craft—and how learning to “let things go” in the studio has translated into everyday life.They dive into everything from Courtney's first, hilariously heavy bowls in college to her signature rainbow-hued pieces, the importance of learning to "let things go" when pottery fails, and the unexpected honor of crafting personalized urns. She also offers a behind-the-scenes look into her process, favorite tools, how she's grown her online presence to nearly 70,000 Instagram followers, and advice for anyone dreaming of turning art into a career. Courtney opens up about what inspires her rainbow-infused style, the meaning and community impact of commissions like custom urns, and how her work ended up on display at local favorites like Knack Brewing and Stefari West Ave. She and Jake also chat about the realities of running a creative business, going viral on Instagram, and why finding your unique artistic voice can take time.Whether you're an aspiring artist, a fan of local makers, or just curious about the behind-the-scenes of ceramic art, this episode is a lively, in-depth look at embracing creativity—and community—in Kankakee County. Don't miss Courtney's tips for anyone wanting to try pottery (hint: patience and a good class are key) and stories from both her studio and the neighborhood that made her.Courtney reminds us that while pottery may look easy on Instagram, every piece comes with its own learning curve, backstory, and a whole lot of local love. Tune in for inspiration, a few laughs, and maybe some motivation to check out her next collection—or just notice the little art treasures in your favorite Kankakee hangouts.Send us a text Support the show

Melting materials used in ceramics, often in glazes and digital glues, are capable of lowering the melting point of a material or compound, thus accelerating the sintering process.This action, which occurs through the breaking of the molecular structure of the compound (in our case, silica) by certain ions, affects several factors and must be carefully calibrated each time to achieve the desired result.Some of the areas influenced by this process include the grit application, the glossy or matte finish of the surface, interaction with colors, and energy savings.How do these materials (such as sodium, potassium, zinc, calcium, boron, etc.) work within the suspensions they are added to, and how does this action reflect on the final ceramic material?

Brighton, U.K. based ceramicist, Nicola Gillis makes functional tableware. Nicola takes inspiration from the East Asian use of tableware, a specific purpose for each vessel and where pleasure is drawn from individuality. Although there are commonalities, she does not seek to replicate exact size or marks and embraces imperfection. Shadows and light on daily walks throughout the seasons and the beauty found in degraded surfaces and patina also inform her work. Nicola has developed her interest in ceramics over the past 8 years, studying on the full-time Ceramic Development course at Forest Row School of Ceramics in 2019, and beginning to sell her work in during 2020. Initially using the wheel, Nicola developed her practice to include hand-building with slabs, carving, and coils, all of which she finds to be a slower, more thoughtful approach to making. https://ThePottersCast.com/1123

In this episode, artist Naoko Fukumaru shares her deeply personal story of transformation through kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery or ceramics with lacquer and gold or silver powder to highlight the fractures and seams. She and host Brian Lowery explore what it means to mend — not just objects, but spirit — and why the most broken parts of us may be the most beautiful.For more on Naoko Fukumaru visit naokofukumaru.com, and for more on Brian Lowery and the show, check out knowwhatyousee.com.

Aujourd'hui, on retrouve Justine, des Petites Porcelaines que j'ai déjà reçue dans l'épisode 63, un des plus écoutés, que j'ai diffusé il y a quasiment 4 ans. A ses côtés, Charlotte de Super Ceramics que m'a fait découvrir Justine. Toutes les deux sont potières et fabriquent de leurs mains de la vaisselle, mais leur parcours, leur technique et leur style sont assez différents. On a donc parlé de la manière dont elles voient leur métier, de leur gestion des difficultés et des déceptions, de leur vision de la création de contenus sur Instagram et YouTube et de la façon dont elles vendent leurs créations en porcelaine ou en grès. Charlotte et Justine évoquent également leur plaisir à travailler seules, la délicate question de la vente ou non des pièces de second choix, de considérations écologiques et des nouveaux produits qu'elles ont développé ou qu'elles aimeraient développer. C'est une conversation que vous pouvez suivre pour la première fois en vidéo, sur YouTube ou que vous pouvez continuer à écouter sur votre plateforme de podcast préférée, comme Spotify, Apple Podcasts ou Deezer ! Comme c'est ma première conversation vidéo, je vous demande un peu d'indulgence : la partie audio est sans doute montée moins finement que d'habitude, alors je serai curieuse de vos retours, que vous ayez écouté ou regardé l'épisode. Le défi avec la vidéo est de faire découvrir le podcast à de nouvelles personnes clairement, en partageant davantage l'ambiance de la conversation tout en ne faisant pas exploser le nombre d'heures de montage et de post-production. J'étais déjà à une grosse dizaine d'heures de travail par épisode ! Avec la vidéo, on a plus de sourires et de mimiques, qu'évidemment on ne perçoit pas toujours avec l'audio seul. Mais ça demande de gérer le son et l'image. Je ferai sans doute évoluer mes outils au fur et à mesure, mais il faut bien commencer quelque part ! Quoi qu'il arrive, j'espère que cette conversation vous plaira et je vous souhaite une bonne écoute !Mélanie

Seth Rogen may be known for his stoner vibe and comedies such as Superbad and Knocked Up, but behind the scenes the actor, writer, weed-lover and pottery fan has also become a producing power player. The US stock market is spooked and Trump's henchmogul's companies are floundering – has the great dealmaker been building up the wrong nation? And Philippa Perry advises a reader: ‘That voice in your head telling you that you're saying the wrong things is not telling the truth.'

self-described loner, Joel Philip Myers developed his skills in relative isolation from the Studio Glass movement. With works inspired by a vast array of topics ranging from his deep love of the Danish countryside to Dr. Zharkov, the artist avoided elaborate sculpture in favor of substantial vessels that are simple yet powerful. States Myers: “In 1964, on the occasion of an exhibition titled Designed for Production: The Craftsman's Approach, I wrote in an essay in Craft Horizons magazine: ‘My approach to glass, as it is to clay, is to allow the material an expression of its own. Press the material to the utmost, and it will suggest ideas and creative avenues to the responsive artist.' The statement was sincere and enthusiastic, but decidedly naïf. I never thought when I wrote it that it would be the one statement of mine that would continue to be repeatedly quoted, throughout my 46- year-long career, as my defining philosophy. I have no defining philosophy. I am a visual artist, not a philosopher. Thoughts and ideas and opinions do not constitute a philosophy, and my thoughts and ideas and opinions have evolved and matured and changed in the time that has passed since 1964.” He continues: “As an artist I like to think of myself as a visitor in a maze, trying to find a solution to a dizzying puzzle. As in a maze, I have, through blunders and exploration, arrived at solutions, and embraced the manifold possibilities that the material offers: plasticity, transparency, opacity, translucency. I am sensitive to the wonders of the visual world and inspired by the forms and colors of the natural world. My training as a designer has enabled me to understand and exploit organization and structure, adding a rational perspective to my intuitive, emotional self.” Myers earned his degree in advertising design from Parsons School of Design in 1954. He studied in Copenhagen, Denmark, before earning a B.F.A. and M.F.A. in ceramics from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in the early 1960s. In 1963, he was hired as design director at Blenko Glass Company in Milton, West Virginia. Captivated by the drama of this thriving glass factory, he learned glassblowing through observation and practice.  In 1970, Myers established the nascent glass department at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois, where he served as Distinguished Professor of Art for 30 years until he retired from teaching in 1997. He is an Honorary Lifetime Member, 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award Winner and past President of the Glass Art Society, a Fellow of the American Crafts Council, and the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. His work is represented in prominent museum collections around the world, including The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, NY; The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C; The Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague; Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art, Japan; Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Palais du Louvre, Paris, France; and Musee de Design et d'Arts Appliques Contemporains, Lausanne, Switzerland, amongst others. Of his sculpture, Myers states: “My work is concerned with drawing, painting, playing with color and imagery on glass. I work with simple forms and concentrate on the surface enrichment. I prefer the spherical, three-dimensional surface to a flat one, because as I paint and draw on the glass, the glass form receives the drawing, adapts to its shape, distorts and expands it as it clothes and envelops itself in my drawing. I feel a communication with the material, and a reciprocation from my subconscious, as I continually search for new insights into my unknown self.” Enjoy this enlightening conversation with Myers, who at 91 has a near photographic memory of the events and developments that spurred the Studio Glass movement forward in its early days, as well as the ideas and processes of his personal work in glass – some of the most successful and collected of its day.
