**Election Day is Nov. 5th! Go to Vote.gov to find your local polling place and do a democracy!**
Lindsey and Donte discuss the many ways you can use sculpture to expand the way you decorate your functional ware (whether wheel-thrown or hand-built). There’s talk of clay types, sculptural techniques, and how you might avoid some common pitfalls – as well as some trickier territory like pursuing representative vs. abstract work and pushing yourself out of a creative rut.
Do you incorporate sculptural elements into your functional work, or do you prefer more 2D surface decoration?

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:
https://suemcleodceramics.com/do-you-put-witness-cones-in-every-firing/
https://help.glazy.org/concepts/temperature/
*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 talk about some of the things that might not seem ceramics-related, but actually make an impact on us in the studio. From the fear of small, irregular holes to EV’s, these mud peddlers have plenty to talk about…

Lindsey and Donte introduce you to a few of the ingredients that make up a glaze. From talk of why Lithium isn’t just an Evanescence song to why you shouldn’t try and order “Rio” from your local clay store, they hope to give you a better understanding of these arcane ingredients that make glazes so dang pretty…
Have you ever looked at a glaze recipe and felt overwhelmed? What ingredient/material would you like us to introduce next?

Lindsey and Donte talk about how to describe the skills you have in ceramics in language that goes on a resume. From keywords and imposter syndrome, to business English and code-switching, these mud peddlers have a lot to debate when it comes to describing what they do all day.
Have you ever put your ceramics skills on a resume? Do you find it difficult to write in “business speech”?

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”?

Shinos and celadons and tenmokus oh my! Lindsey interviews Donte about some of the most famous glazes you’re likely to hear about in the ceramics world. There’s talk of when and where they come from, what makes them unique, and why they’re different from the bottled glazes of the same name you can buy today.
Is there a historical topic within ceramics you’d like us to talk about in the future?

Lindsey interviews Donte in this low-key chat about his solo adventures at ClayCon West. There’s talk of crowd sizes and artist talks, expectations and infrastructure…
And why there might be a new Hogwarts-style sorting ceremony to be had.
Do you like going to big festive events? Or do you gravitate towards those that are more small and low-key?

Lindsey and Donte chat about their experiences at their first event of 2024! There’s talk of navigating price changes, successful and failed plans for inventory management, creating an efficient booth setup, avoiding wifi struggles, and what to do when there are just some things that are out of your control.
Oh, and what these mud peddlers think of the new 18+ “Degenerate Alley”.
Is there an event in your area you’d like to sell at? What’s your favorite event to attend, either as a seller, or attendee?
