Episodes

  • Lindsey and Donte sit down to reflect on their experiences with Patreon. What’s been working? What have they changed? How can Patreon be useful for more than the income? They also dive into their perspectives on creating free community content vs content that’s behind a paywall, and what they want to bring their members in the future.

    What do you think is the best way to balance sharing free vs paid content online? What appeals to or repels you about how creators approach this topic?

  • Lindsey and Donte do their best to define the tricky thing that is heatwork. What is it? What things affect it? Why is it making Lindsey crave cake? They also talk about a big business development for Donte.

    Curious for more information? Check out Sue McLeod’s blog about heatwork and pyrometric cones and Glazy’s article about heatwork:

    *CORRECTION*

    In this episode, Donte and I talk about resources about heatwork on Digital Fire. While that website does have great information, the article that Lindsey read in preparation for this episode is actually on Glazy.org.

  • Lindsey and Donte are havin’ a week. So while they wait for the coffee to kick in, they chat about what’s been occupying their minds recently, from the wildly unpleasant to the gloriously sublime. And like every geek these days, they’re spending some time talking about Baldur’s Gate. Join them at the 25:10 mark to skip the life updates and get to the classic clay content, where there’s talk of world-building, glaze chemistry, and production plans.

    How you doin’? Is life treating you well? What’s on your mind these days?

  • Lindsey and Donte go over the questions they ask themselves before agreeing to sell at an in-person event. It’s great to live in an area with lots of event options, but it can be hard to decide which one will be worth your valuable time and effort. While being a vendor is always a learning process, these questions are here to help you narrow down your options (and hopefully avoid some painful bumps on the learning curve).

    What are your “green flags” that make you want to say “Yes” to an event invitation? What are your “red flags”?

  • You may have heard me say I’ve been wanting to integrate more creative writing into my art practice. While this episode has nothing to do with ceramics, it is born from a love of writing and love of horror stoked by podcast The Magnus Archives.

    My eternal thanks to the incredible artists behind The Magus Archives not only for making an incredible show, but for being a light for artists in a world where creativity can easily succumb to darkness.

    I hope you enjoy this tribute, and if you’re a fan of horror, go listen to The Magnus Archives!

    This episode is fanart inspired by the podcast The Magnus Archives. I love the show dearly, but neither I, this episode, nor The Mud Peddlers are affiliated with The Magnus Archives or Rusty Quill network.
