my ceramics journey ~ how I got into pottery, glaze & small business chats, q+a
finally chatting about how I got into ceramics, became a full-time artist + a lil Q&A! a bit rambly but hopefully interesting. ALSO apologies for the sound being kind of weird / crummy in this video, I really need to invest in a mic at some point :'-)
see you in the next one! x
