279: Hamilton Potters Guild members talk about trends in ceramics and how the rising cost of housing affects potters

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have
a panel discussion with members of the Hamilton Potters Guild.
Emma Smith, Greg Voison, Melissa Schooley and Scott Barnim talk
about their experience being potters in the Ontario region and
the benefits of being in a guild. We also talk about building a
wood kiln on a land lease property, following trends versus
“selling out” your aesthetic, and how the rising cost of housing
affects potters. To find out more about the guild visit
