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?

Deze aflevering gaat in essentie over wat mannen en vrouwen zijn en hoe de kunstenaar zich tot deze clichés of archetypes verhoudt. Leven we in een 'manosphere'? Maar wat is dan de invloed van wat mensen 'woke' blijven noemen? En waarom heeft iedereen het gevoel dat we terug-zwiepen in een wereld van hyper-masculiniteit? Hoe kan dat waar zijn als we tegelijkertijd in een 'patriarchaat' leven? Of zitten we zonder dat te beseffen in feite in iets wat je net zo goed als 'femosphere' zou kunnen beschrijven? En wat wordt er in godsnaam bedoelt met 'de longhouse'?

Trying my hand at pottery has been something I've wanted to do for decades but have only recently decided to give it a whirl.

I'll be pressing pause on the podcast for the summer and will be off immersing myself in some other artistic endeavors but will be back in a bit with more tales to tell of my ventures into more right brain adventures.

Would you also list the wholesale shops that purchase your work? I've been hesitant to do this, since I don't set the retail prices that they sell my items at, but thinking that this could be beneficial for all parties @bowledoverceramicsHow about deciding which forms you want to make for markets. Maybe comparing types of markets and different forms that sell fast?

Clarice Cliff was a pioneering British ceramicist who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on the Art Deco movement. Born into a working-class family in 1899, Clarice's artistic talent and relentless ambition propelled her from a factory apprentice to an internationally celebrated designer. We explore her groundbreaking “Bizarre” ware, the bold colors and geometric patterns that revolutionized pottery in the 1920s and ‘30s, and how she carved out a space for herself in a male-dominated industry. Her journey wasn't just about creating beautiful ceramics—it was about innovation, resilience, and breaking societal norms. Listen to the story behind the woman who turned everyday tableware into collectible works of art.  Follow us on IG: @homance_chronicles Connect with us: linktr.ee/homance Send us a Hoe of History request: homancepodcast@gmail.com
