485: Bryan Hopkins on low-fire porcelain

Today on the show I talk with Bryan Hopkins. You probably know
him from his exquisite porcelain vessels, but you might not have
guessed some of those forms are made from low-fire porcelain. In
our interview we talk about formulating low-fire translucent
porcelains and how he uses a neodymium grate magnet to create
speck free clay bodies. To see examples of his work visit
