David Schlapobersky & Felicity Potter were on The Potters Cast way back in episode 82 in the very early, early days of the podcast. This is one of my favorite conversations I have ever had. I have thought of these two many times over the years. I recently discovered that Felicity had passed away in March of this year. I though it would be good to revisit this conversation in memory of Felicity. https://ThePottersCast.com/1272

Mitch Lyons had been on The Potters Cast back in 2017, episode 324. Less than a year later he had passed away. Mitch was a prolific maker, so much so that this past week I am still getting emails about more of his never-before-seen work was going to be posted on his website. Absolutely amazing! So today we take a moment to revisit Mitch's conversation for The Potters Cast. https://ThePottersCast.com/1272

A year ago Jennifer and I took a leap and opened a community studio, Clay Works Vancouver. So many things have happened over this adventurous year so I thought it would be good to do a bit of a review of the journey so far. https://ThePottersCast.com/1270
