535: Sarah Wells Rolland on recovering from Hurricane Helene

Sarah Wells Rolland founded the Village Potters in the River Arts
District of Asheville, NC in 2011. The art center housed a
community of seven resident potters, as well as dozens of
students through their classes and mentorship program. In late
September Hurricane Helene turned the French Broad into a raging
river that destroyed the Village Potters. In our interview we
talk about the history of the art center and their ongoing
recovery from catastrophic flooding. You can support The Village
Potters recovery efforts on GoFundMe and find out more at
