    We are back and happy to bring you a live recording that happened at the 2023 NCECA conference in Richmond, VA. Today’s episode features a conversation with Carole Epp, Naomi Clement, Diana Adams, and Sarah Pike about their approach to making a living as a potter in the digital age. Each of these four trailblazing artists has figured out how to make a living as a full-time potter on their own terms. From sold-out online shop updates to setting up a virtual school and membership platform and working on major brand collaborations, they discuss the process of running a creative business. Special thanks to NCECA for co-producing this episode and supporting podcasting in the ceramic community.
