Podcasts about Pottery

Over the past two decades, the artist Theaster Gates has poured himself into his multifaceted practice that spans pottery, painting, sculpture, urban development, performance, archival research, and arts administration. Along the way, he has risen to become one of the most widely celebrated figures in the world of art, transforming abandoned, dormant buildings in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, on the city's South Side, into dynamic third spaces for social, cultural, and spiritual communion; linking his hometown of Chicago with Japan, where in 2004 he trained with master potters in the coastal city of Tokoname and has maintained a deep connection ever since; and effectively rescuing, recontextualizing, and resuscitating culturally significant archives.On this episode of Time Sensitive, our latest “site-specific” recording, Gates sits down with Spencer inside his personal library in Chicago to talk about his current exhibition, “Unto Thee,” at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art (on view through Feb. 22, 2026); his forward-looking vision for his latest project, The Land School, which he and his Rebuild Foundation have reshaped into an arts incubator; and the vast, alchemic impacts of music on his life and work.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: Theaster Gates[1:21] Dorchester Art and Housing Collaborative[5:07] The Land School (2025)[7:30] St. Laurence Elementary School[7:42] Solange Knowles[9:07] Stony Island Arts Bank[9:07] Rebuild Foundation[9:07] Black Cinema House[9:07] The Listening House[13:06] Jane Addams[13:06] Jane Jacobs[13:06] Jesse Jackson[13:23] Frederick Law Olmsted[13:23]  Huey P.

Creativity as a Lifeline: A Conversation with Jaime TownzenWhat happens when grief, loss, and uncertainty open a doorway back to creativity? In this soulful episode of The Creative Genius Podcast, host Kate Shepherd speaks with artist and author Jaime Townzen about how watercolour became her lifeline during a dark time, and how following her spark led her to write and publish her debut novel Absorbed. Together they explore creativity as healing, intuition as guidance, the courage to embrace being an artist, and how art helps us through times of crisis.Listeners will hear about Jaime's journey from stay-at-home mom to professional artist and novelist, the power of daily creative rituals, the role of curiosity as an antidote to anxiety, and how to trust your own calling. This conversation is a balm for anyone longing to reconnect with their creative spark and live more fully as themselves.This week on the Creative Genius Podcast, I sat down with artist and author Jaime Townzen. Her story is one of grief, healing, and rediscovering herself through creativity — a path that eventually led her to publish her first novel Absorbed.We talked about why art matters in times of crisis, how daily creative rituals can reorient your whole life, and what it means to follow your calling even when it doesn't make sense on paper.Jaime's journey is a beautiful reminder that creativity isn't indulgent — it's essential.

Join me for an exciting episode on the podcast this week, where I talk you through making a stoneware pottery glaze from start to finish!If you've ever wondered how to make a pottery glaze suitable for raw glazing, this episode is for you! The glaze in this episode can be applied directly to greenware pottery and fired straight up to stoneware temperatures - a pottery technique known as ‘raw glazing'. This glaze can also be used as a regular stoneware pottery glaze and applied to bisqueware pottery before firing to stoneware glaze temperatures (1260oc). Full details of the stoneware pottery glaze recipe made in this episode and the electric kiln firing schedule required to fire it can be found in this free guide.

In this episode of Limitless, Raul Bilecky takes us deepinto the deserts and mountains of Peru—revealing breathtaking footage of ancient sites that remain undocumented and unexplored. From temples with noMinistry of Culture record, to vast stretches of looted ruins littered with bones and pottery shards, Raul shares discoveries rarely seen by the outside world. We explore megalithic pottery larger than anything in the archaeological record, mysterious sunken plazas thatmay rewrite the history of the Americas, and newly spotted geoglyphs predating the famous Nazca lines by thousands of years. Alongside tales of looting pits stretching for kilometers and artifacts destroyed in search of metal, Raul highlights the urgency of documenting these sacred places before they vanish to agriculture, erosion, or theft.

Send us a textAs makers, we often feel pressure to create what we think will sell rather than what genuinely excites us, but what if following your authentic creative vision is actually the fastest path to finding your people and building sustainable success? Danielle Williams of Strong Roots Pottery discovered this when she finally allowed herself to explore the hair-inspired clay work that had been sitting in her sketchbook for years—her now-signature Bantu knot vases didn't just reignite her passion for making, they created such demand that she now maintains a waitlist of eager customers. By giving herself permission to make what truly resonated with her (even when it meant stepping away from "safer" planter sales), she found that following her long-held creative vision became her greatest business asset, proving that the courage to pursue your personal creative interests—rather than chasing trends or quick sales—often leads to the kind of meaningful work that sustains both your artistic soul and your bank account.Love this podcast?

Meghan Markle Rachel Sussex says that you don't need to be nervous if you're prepared. It's crazy how Amanda and Maggie show up to this podcast and neither one of them are nervous and also Amanda is totally unprepared and has her microphone turned around backwards for 3/4 of the show? Meghan would never do that and that's why they have so much love for her second season! Excellent guests, so many recipes they'll never be able to tackle them all, and the craft game is so on point. They only question here is: Will there be enough love to to around for Season 3?   As the girls wrap up this show, they've got more things in store and can't wait for the big reveal, so stay tuned! 

Navigating Grief with Dr. Tony Subtil: Acceptance, Processing, and AdjustmentIn this episode of The Girl Doc Survival Guide, Christine explores the topic of grief with Dr. Tony Subtil, a Clinical Associate Professor of Pathology at the University of British Columbia and author of the textbook Diagnosis of Cutaneous Lymphoid Infiltrates: A Visual Approach to Differential Diagnosis and Knowledge Gaps.

What happens when a book about sex work, patriarchy, and motherhood collides with our own messy stories of choice, pregnancy, and parenting? Pure Real Talk and the reality: Motherhood is never simple. In this episode, Stacy and Daynah dive into *spoiler alert* Margo's Got Money Trouble and end up everywhere from pottery-as-therapy and day drinking confessions to abortion stigma, single mom survival, and postpartum euphoria (yes, it's real). They unpack the way beauty is currency, the patriarchy still shapes every decision, and how women just keep holding it all together. And because it's us, we also detour through tramp stamps, 90s nostalgia, and the pop culture comfort food of Netflix binges. It's sharp, heartfelt, occasionally irreverent, and exactly the kind of conversation your group text wishes it was having. Content Warning: This episode discusses topics related to pregnancy, including personal decisions around abortion. If these subjects feel overwhelming, please take care of yourself.

Send us a textAs makers, many of us feel pressure to choose between our creative passions and a more traditional career - but what if that's a false choice entirely? What if taking your craft seriously doesn't require abandoning a career you are equally passionate about? Melisa's journey from taking her first clay class as a 40th birthday gift to creating what she calls a "side saunter" shows us how blending our different worlds can actually make both richer. Could embracing your own pace and connecting your creative work to the career you already had be the key to building a sustainable making practice that enhances rather than competes with all of life's other demands?Melisa's work can be found @mwypotteryFeatured in this episode:  Check out our Community member, Alisha's work @alishahagenartLove this podcast?

Send us a textRecently there's been a lot of talk around whether or not you can make a full-time living as a studio potter, and most stories you'll hear about those who are seen as "studio potters" involve teaching regularly, running workshops, providing rental space for other artists, or maintaining multiple income streams beyond just making pots. But there are a few potters out there who truly make their living from the literal things they make - and Heidi Fahrenbacher, of Bella Joy Pottery, is one of them. Heidi's journey from financial rock bottom to paying herself a steady salary reveals how facing your worst business fears head-on can actually become the foundation for a more sustainable practice. In this conversation we talk about how sustaining this kind of practice isn't about finding the perfect sales channel or mastering every platform, but about learning to simplify, set boundaries, and recover from the inevitable mistakes that come with building any creative business. Heidi's experience reminds us that sometimes the most valuable business skill isn't avoiding problems altogether—it's learning how to bounce back from them with better boundaries, clearer priorities, and the confidence to keep making the work that lights you up.Love this podcast?
