The Maker's PlaybookEp 522: The Case for Curiosity {The Launch}Send us a textAs I reflected on what we're doing differently for this market season compared to last year's, I realized a trend that I've also seen after teaching over 200 makers inside our MPSS photography course and journeying along side nearly 100 makers inside of The Community for the past 3 years. And while I don't really believe in magic silver bullets to assured success, this one trait just might be the determining factor from those that do continue to find success vs. those that, understandably, give up.The Launch is our near real-time series that...2024-08-2445 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp 501: Things that Want to Happen with Rebecca Harvey of the Archie BraySend us a textWe’re kicking off Season 5 with a big announcement right at the start of my chat with Rebecca Harvey, the executive director of the Archie Bray.

The Maker's PlaybookEp 407: The Launch - Reflecting on Our First MarketSend us a textEpisode 2 of the special The Launch series! This week I reflect on our first in-person market experience - just 6 short days after it happened. So yes, I'm still tired. :) We also have some insightful questions from our Community members as our framework for this review on the highs and lows of our first market.

The Maker's PlaybookEp 406: Introducing The Launch (a real-time series on starting our ceramics business)Send us a textHave you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall while someone else starts a ceramics business? From the very beginning? Well, you’re in luck! In this new series - The Launch - I’m sharing (in as real-time as I can) the reality of what it’s like for Francesco and I to start our pottery business, Carra Terra. First up, what the last 2 years of twists and turns, starts and pauses, has been like and how that’s brought us to this summer of going all in on in-person markets...2023-06-2326 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 405 - The Efficiency of Commissions with Micah SchedlerSend us a textCommissions… I feel like it’s a four letter word when I talk to some potters. You see them physically tense up and take a deep breath ready to do battle with a fire breathing dragon. And I’ve always been a little bit confused by this because I kind of like them. Just add it to the list of the ways that it makes me a bit of a black sheep in the art world. You can slot it right next to my love of systems and routine and willingness to talk about...2023-06-161h 05The Maker's PlaybookEp 401: Making a Living with Danny MeisingerSend us a textWhen I say “making a living” what do you think I mean? Do you immediately think of income and how much money you make? Or do you think of how you spend your time? Do you think of the balance between working hours and leisure hours? I don’t think there is one particularly correct answer, but on this episode of The Maker’s Playbook, our guest, Danny Meisinger does put this phrase into some very helpful perspective for those of us trying to figure out the financial side alongside the dream life of being...2023-05-121h 13The Maker's Playbook[REPLAY] - How you can still organically grow on Instagram with Jackie WrightSend us a textIt’s our final replay week! Season 4 starts out next week, with someone who has been on my personal bucket list to interview for quite a long time. Before that though! Our final replay of one of the most popular conversations from last year - with someone who I have absolutely loved watch grow over the last two years. Jackie Wright was one of the inaugural members of my very first cohort for The Maker’s Photography Styling System. And frankly, she’s worked that system better than I even do, if her Instag...2023-04-281h 00The Maker's Playbook[REPLAY] - Falling into a Life of Ceramics with John BrittSend us a textWhile I take a long overdue break from the screens, we're replaying some of our most popular episodes!At the end of this original episode I reference The Community - our online home for makers. One of the coolest things about The Community (aside from being an amazingly supportive group of makers from all over the world rooting each other on and joining together to creatively brainstorm around the myriad of problems we all have to find solutions to), is that the doors are always open! So while this episode originally...2023-04-211h 07The Maker's Playbook[REPLAY] - Burnout and the search for balance with Nicole DaceySend us a textWhile I take a long overdue break from the screens, we're replaying some of our most popular episodes! And it’s no wonder these 4 episodes are some of our most listened to over the last year, because as I compiled them, I realized they are all on topics that really never end… Just as I mentioned in our Live taping at NCECA (episode 335 in case you were curious), one of the most unexpected things about being a business owner is that you essentially are always in a cycle - it’s a cycle of exp...2023-04-141h 21The Maker's Playbook[REPLAY] - On Being a Business Owner with Curt HammerlySend us a textWhile I take a long overdue break from the screens, we're replaying some of our most popular episodes!In the original episode, I referenced our 6-week photography course specifically for potters: The Maker's Photography Styling System.

The Potters CastKeeping Customers from NCECA | Rebecca Ickes Carra | Episode 927 When I was at NCECA a few weeks ago I was given the honor of interviewing Rebecca Ickes Carra of The Maker's Playbook. In this conversation we talked about finding and keeping customers. Rebecca is a brilliant entrepreneur and has some amazing advice to share. http://ThePottersCast.com/9272023-04-061h 10The Maker's PlaybookEp 335: Live at NCECA - The Business of Clay with The Potter's CastSend us a textLIVE from NCECA! Our recording of the joint (but mostly Paul interviewing me) episode with the Potter’s Cast is here! We touched the surface on a lot of business topics in this one hour. Anything from the importance of finding your own work before market research, how business is mostly just the scientific process on repeat, and a lot lot more, including direct questions from the live audience that was sitting in front of us the whole time. The room was absolutely packed and frankly, I was a bit stunned. Any one of...2023-03-311h 12The Maker's PlaybookEp: 334 - Creating out of Chaos with Kim Ferguson of Khaos CreatesSend us a textHow often do you remember the name of someone’s Instagram account before you actually learn their real name? It’s a little weird. But it can also be freeing for some people, because it means you can choose how much of yourself you want to share. You can create an alter-ego of sorts. Not a dishonest representation of yourself - I’m not suggesting we start “catfishing” - but instead, the ability to create a comfort zone for what you share publicly and what you choose to keep private. Not to mention, how buildi...2023-03-1753 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 333 - Part Two with Sarah Hussaini from Not Work RelatedSend us a textIf there was a store that was only open for 10 minutes out of the year, would you go to it? Do you think it would even stay in business? What would the business model even look like for such a store? This sounds crazy to describe doesn’t it... Every business advisor out there would tell you that a store needs to be available to people when the people are ready to purchase. Random last minute birthday gifts, mother’s day, of course the lead up to the crazy end of year shopping seas...2023-03-1055 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp:332 - Building a Viable Business in NYC with Sarah Hussaini of Not Work Related (Part 1!)Send us a textBuilding a business as an independent maker can be hard. And when you add on top of that the financial realities of doing it in an urban center… well, it takes a special level of drive, determination, work ethic and grit to make that happen. All of which, I can safely say Sarah Hussaini undoubtedly has. Sarah (owner of Not Work Related) and I connect on a lot business topics. So many, that I couldn’t contain all of the nuggets of hard earned knowledge in one episode. That’s right my friends, settle...2023-03-0348 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 331 - Changing with the Times with Katherine MahoneySend us a textOne of the most surprising things for many makers pursuing self-employment is that the brainstorming, troubleshooting, and all-around scientific method of experimenting, testing, observing, and pivoting never really ends (unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the day). The strategy you had for selling your pots 10 years ago might not work today, and it can feel like you are back at the drawing board, practically starting from scratch all over again. What you decide today, well in 3 years or maybe even 1 year, you might have to change again… But before you feel too hopeless, know th...2023-02-171h 14The Maker's PlaybookEp: 330 - Working with Galleries with Sarah Chenoweth DavisSend us a textWhat if there was a way to grow your audience or broaden your reach without hustling on social media? What if you could focus on fostering a handful of really close relationships with people who understood and appreciated your work, and then in turn, spent their own time working to promote that work and get it out to a curated audience of people interested in possibly purchasing that work? Does it sound too good to be true? Well, this week on the podcast, we talk about a possible business model that can do...2023-02-101h 11The Maker's PlaybookEp: 329 - Trusting the Process with Virgil OrtizSend us a textMy chat this week with Virgil Ortiz is packed with insights. From pragmatic business advice, like protecting your intellectual property, to the less tangible topics of manifestation and trusting that things have a way of working out. The history of clay for the Cochiti people and how Virgil’s work, truly almost accidentally and yet oh so beautifully connects generations of storytellers is nothing less than astonishing. If you’ve only recently found the podcast and are feeling disappointed that you missed out on our free webinar last week about the 4 Most...2023-02-031h 03The Maker's PlaybookEp: 328 - Intentional Practice with Yair AbrahamSend us a text“There’s only so much people can show you until you actually go and do it and fail and practice and practice until you get it….” This week on the podcast, I virtually sit down with Yairs Abraham who started his self-taught pottery journey in Buenos Aires, then moved to New Zealand, and now is potting away in his home studio in what spare time a baby and full-time job allows. But here’s the catch… he prefers it that way. And if his fantastically designed website is any indication, he’s definitely found the righ...2023-01-2054 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 327 - “Blooming late,” Academia, & Imposter Syndrome with Page KellySend us a textThis week, my conversation with Page Kelly of Zephyr Valley Ceramics twists and turns, much like her career paths. A self-proclaimed “late bloomer,” there is this stunning moment in this conversation at about the 46-ish minute marker when Page discusses the narrative body of work she is currently producing, where I hear literally every experience she has had in the last 2 decades - inside and outside of working in clay - come together. It’s an encouraging moment, especially for those of us that feel like we are getting started in this beautiful journe...2023-01-131h 19The Maker's PlaybookEp: 326- The Business of Pottery with Rebecca Graves-ProwseSend us a textFor all of you out there who have been listening to the podcast and thinking, “It’s too late for me to make a career move… I’m too far into this corporate job with the 401ks and the healthcare and all the stuff…” Well, this episode, my friends, is for you. Rebecca of GravesCo sheds light on the decades of experience she had before she “magically”created an “overnight success.” We also nerd out a bit on the way spreadsheets allow us to make creative decisions and I for one, am not so subtly vying for a...2023-01-061h 29The Maker's PlaybookEp: 325 - Finding New Routines with Alex OlsonSend us a textCeramics is not exactly an easily mobile art form. And depending on what you are making, it can take up a fair bit of space. So what the heck do you do when you move to New York City, but you know you are only going to be there for 2-4 years? And yet, you are fresh in the beginning stages of getting your business off the ground? Well, that’s exactly what Alex Olson is working on figuring out and this week we’re talking all about it, along with the reality of t...2022-12-2353 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 324 - Building Ceramicon with Elisabeth YoungSend us a textIn order to have kept my small business afloat for the last 12+ years, I had to learn a LOT of other skills that have absolutely nothing to do with crafting a photo. In fact, as you’ve heard from many past guests here on the podcast, once you go full-time with your craft, more often than not, you aren’t spending 100% of your time IN that craft. Instead, there’s admin and website updates and taxes and paperwork and customer service and…. Well, the list goes on, but I think you get the idea. To...2022-12-1659 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 323 - Living, Learning and Making Abroad with Ido FerberSend us a textHow often do you find yourself listening to another maker or hearing about another artist’s story to get to where they are now and saying, “Well that worked for them but I…” But I’m not in my 20s. But I’m married. But I have a dog, but I… It can be really easy for any of us (myself included) to come up with all the reasons we can not do something. Until, you hear about someone who, even with all of those things, is doing the thing. This week on the podcast I’...2022-12-091h 06The Maker's PlaybookEp: 322 - Are You Spamming Your Email List? with Rebecca Ickes CarraSend us a textThe irony of publishing this episode on Black Friday isn't lost on me. But here's the thing: Your emails are NOT the same as the big box stores. At least, not if you are actually (regularly) engaging with the people who have trusted you enough to give you their email address... The true irony is that oftentimes, thanks to our nerves around feeling like we might be spamming people, we wind up only emailing them when we have a shop update or an announcement about a market or show. But what...2022-11-2539 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 321 - Pursuing Creativity Slowly with Horacio CasillasSend us a textDream with me for a minute - What if instead of stressing out over figuring out everything, you simply take the next step? This week on the podcast, I’m interviewing Horacio Casillas, who is currently a resident at Companion Gallery. And he’s spending this unique time as a resident artist doing just that - taking the time to slow down and think. He doesn’t have the next 5 years of life already plotted out and ticking off the to-do list towards whatever crazy goal that demands to push harder and wake up ear...2022-11-181h 00The Maker's PlaybookEp: 320 - Making Connections with Angelik Vizcarrondo-LaboySend us a textYou’ve just walked into a new gallery exhibition, and immediately you start thinking about the artist who created these amazing works in front of you. You dream of working in the arts and what that would be like. But have you ever thought about all the other ways you could also work in the arts? To put on that one exhibit there is also a gallery, and thus, a gallery owner (not to mention gallery employees), there’s potentially a marketing company that helps the gallery spread the word on new features, ther...2022-11-111h 11The Maker's PlaybookEp: 319 - Figuring Out What Works for You with Andrew LindermanSend us a textShould I sell online? Or should I sell at in-person markets? Should I accept wholesale? Should I teach? These are just a handful of the myriad of questions we makers often ask ourselves when trying to figure out how the heck to get our small businesses off the ground. But it’s hard to know what the right choice is for yourself until you try many of these things. And when I say try, I don’t necessarily mean just throwing up a table at one in-person market, where it rains on one day...2022-10-281h 04The Maker's PlaybookEp: 318 - Values-Based Pricing with Rebecca Ickes CarraSend us a textPricing your art… It’s part math, part alchemy, and a whole lot of emotion. It should just be simple math, but somehow it's never that simple. On today's solo episode I dig into the differences between cost-based pricing and value-based pricing (and why the second one is so important specifically for artists). Of course, as is true with most things in life - The topic is a bit more complex than we would probably prefer. If you are looking for more support and help in navigating the complex questions we all...2022-10-2139 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 317 - How having a Full-time Job allows Cory Brown to be an ArtistSend us a textMost of us dream about quitting our full-time jobs in order to do what we love. In fact, that might just be why you are listening to this very podcast. But what if, instead of thinking of your full-time job as the thing holding you back from being creative, you approached it from the perspective of the thing that allows you to be creative. Maybe not necessarily while doing that job (although this week’s guest one could argue gets to do that too), but thanks to the reliability of that job - yo...2022-10-141h 07The Maker's PlaybookEp: 316 - Starting Before it’s Perfect with Juliette DavinSend us a textHow many of us feel like we need to have every single detail figured out before we start something? I know I sure do. If this is your first podcast episode, you will soon figure out, I am awfully (obsessively) Type A for being a creative. And while at times that has served me really well in systematizing processes and being organized in order to use my time efficiently, at other times… it’s slowed me down. Analyzing every pro & con to every website platform out there for months and months before just simpl...2022-09-301h 10The Maker's PlaybookEp: 315 - Slow Growth with Ricky BlandingSend us a textToday on the podcast, I’m discussing one of my favorite, most insightful, yet most difficult to stick to topics… growing slowly. If I could do it all over again, and go back 12 years in time, the one thing I would do differently would be to actually hold onto the work outside of starting my own business longer. I was in such a rush to feel the false legitimacy of being “full-time” that I missed out on the benefits (and support) that was possible when you weren’t only relying on your craft to pay the...2022-09-2348 minTales of a Red Clay Rambler: A pottery and ceramic art podcastPodcast extravaganza with Rebecca Ickes Carra from the Maker’s PlaybookToday on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I talk with photographer and podcast host Rebecca Ickes Carra. For more than a decade she has been a professional photographer focused on weddings and portraiture. A few years back she turned that business know-how into the podcast the Maker’s Playbook, where she interviews ceramic artists and other creatives about their business. In today’s interview we have a special format where we interview each other about podcasting and the growth of our small businesses. This is part one of the interview and you can hear part two later...2022-09-161h 04The Maker's PlaybookEp: 314 - When Plans Change with Ben CarterSend us a textThere are two very exciting things happening on the podcast this week! #1 - I’m excited to announce that for the first time since starting this podcast, we have a bit more support to help me get new episodes out into your headphones! For the next couple of months, the one and only Amaco is sponsoring the Maker’s Photography Styling System! And I couldn’t be more grateful & excited. #2 - This week’s interview with Ben Carter is actually Part 2!

What will that do for you? Or rather… what do you think that will do? Today’s world is full of encouragement to grow - have more followers, make more content, do more, diversify income streams - do more and grow, grow, GROW! But have you ever stopped to ask yourself, “Why?” On this week’s episode, host Rebecca Ickes Carra sheds a bit of light on the Myth of Growth and how it might not solve the problems we think it will (it co...2022-08-2628 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 312 - On Reflective Learning with Tom KempSend us a textOn today’s episode, Tom Kemp manages to hold space for both a deeply philosophical conversation while at the same time providing pragmatic advice for all of us working to figure out how the heck to make a living from the things we make. I personally, have never connected much with the philosophy and the “what is art?” conversations that often spring up, but when married side-by-side with the realistic, and the pragmatic - the benefits of things like social media for artists to test out ideas in the marketplace alongside the difficult slog t...2022-08-181h 14The Maker's PlaybookEp: 311 - Choosing NOT to Grow with Becca OtisSend us a textIs the thing you are dreaming of doing actually going to provide you with the life you are dreaming of having? On today’s episode, I sit down with Becca Otis (yes, from Wheeltalk Podcast!) to dispel some of the myths behind a lot of goals we self-employed artists often set. Dream of owning your own studio & hosting classes, she’s done it. Dream of selling your work to make a living, she’s done it. Want big-name brands to contract you for elusive wholesale work? That’s how Bec...2022-08-1254 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 310 - How a Big Goal Determines Everyday Decisions with Sam LopezSend us a textHave you ever felt overwhelmed by all the things you think you are supposed to be doing as a maker in 2022? Post a reel every day to Instagram! Don’t use Etsy, build your own website! Raise your prices!! The world can often feel like it’s constantly yelling at us to change something, fix something, do something more, and more and more… And if you are anything like me, that ever-growing to-do list is impossible. There isn’t enough time in the day or resources available to accomplish all the world yells at me to...2022-07-291h 03The Maker's PlaybookEp: 309 - How you can STILL organically grow on Instagram in 2022 with Jackie WrightSend us a textDo you think it’s too late to organically grow a large Instagram following? Did you only just start your Instagram and it feels like you’ve missed the opportunity? Maybe you tell yourself “there’s no possible way to grow on Instagram these days compared to before…” Or assume the advice someone gave you - maybe someone who already has a much bigger following - won’t work for you because they grew their following years ago - before reels, before there were so many potters online, etc. etc. etc…Well, my friends...2022-07-2256 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 308 - Following your own inspiration with Kate SchroederSend us a textWhat if you stopped making the kind of work you don’t actually like to make and decided to only make the random thing that really interests you? And what if… what if doing that actually brought you more sales and more people interested in your work and excited about the same thing you are excited about than you could have ever imagined? That very thing is happening for Kate Schroeder and her Shelfies and on this episode, we get to hear all about the long road that led her to toda...2022-07-151h 30The Maker's PlaybookEp: 307 - Repetitive Practice as the Key to Success with Rich BrownSend us a textFor most everyone I’ve spoken with in the last year and a half of the podcast, one thing has been true - As soon as they touched clay, they were hooked. It was like a siren call, an addiction, where their whole life they began to rearrange in order to figure out how to carve out more time to have their hands in the mud. That mesmerizing experience that is true for so many of us, often has us jump straight from our first class at the local community studio to “how do I...2022-07-011h 06The Maker's PlaybookEp: 306 - Falling into a Life of Ceramics with John BrittSend us a textWhen you see a super well know potter's name somewhere - on the cover of a book, on a list of speakers at a conference, or anywhere else - do you ever wonder how they got there? Did they always know they wanted to do this? Or was their path a bit more windy (perhaps like yours and mine)? Have they reached this particular level of success because of a clearly laid out plan, or was it really most luck and timing? Well my friends, one of those names that pop up in...2022-06-241h 04The Maker's PlaybookEp: 305 - A Virtual Home for Makers with Rebecca Ickes CarraSend us a text12 years ago, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t go to business school. And I definitely had never dreamed of starting my own business. But, I managed to keep putting one foot in front of the other and climb up the hill that is self-employment, learning when to adjust course or totally change plans when necessary thanks to the support of an incredible Community of peers.On today’s solo episode, I’m sharing why I’ve spent the last 4 months building a virtual home for make...2022-06-1726 minThe Maker's PlaybookEp: 304 - Building a Communal Space with Kenny Sing of Turn StudioSend us a textKenny Sing of Turn Studio & I chat this week about how his Instagram originally started out simply as a place to share the processes he was testing out, without the intention of reaching 83,000++ followers. We also dig into his passion for teaching and why he's building his community studio space (plus how building a studio actually works and all the hard cost realities of doing that).Kenny's heart for building a community clearly hits home for me. If you don't have a local resource for in-person community building like Kenny's space...2022-05-271h 00The Maker's PlaybookEp: 303 - Making Space for Our Personal Lives as a Full-time Maker with Lucy FagellaSend us a textOn this week’s episode, I virtually sit down with Lucy Fagella to discuss how she’s shifted her business over the course of the last 20+ years as a full-time studio potter. We chat about the realities of parenting and being a full-time maker as well as how to make sure you are taking care of your body amidst the physical demands of ceramics. Lucy has navigated the big shift from predominantly cash-based in-person market sales to credit card processing and online shops (and as may come as a shock to some, would rath...2022-05-201h 08The Maker's PlaybookEp: 302 - Committing to a Goal and Sticking to it with Delvin GoodeSend us a textHave you ever talked yourself out of going after a goal because the logistics just felt impossible? Like pursuing a master’s degree when you can’t attend a school in person? Or setting up a home studio space when you work in a job that forces you to move locations every couple of years? Pretty difficult right? But not impossible. Or at least, you can’t use that excuse any more, because today’s guest on the podcast, Del of D Goode Art has managed to work with all of those logistical limitati...2022-05-131h 02The Maker's PlaybookEp: 301 - A Lifelong Pursuit of Learning with Adam FieldSend us a textWe are back! Season 3 of the Maker’s Playbook podcast kicks off with Adam Field! In this episode, Adam and I dig into how he managed to say yes to a multi-year residency program at the Archie Bray with 2 kiddos in tow, how he integrates social media into his studio practice, and the vulnerability it takes to change the style of our work when also making a living from that work. This is a conversation I know I personally will be returning to frequently.You’ve heard me end every episode for...2022-05-061h 13
The Maker's PlaybookEp: 217 - The Social Responsibility of Businesses (and different business models to pursue)Send us a textIt’s taken me longer than expected to finish writing this episode. But I suppose that should come as no surprise given the constant influx of world news being thrown at us. At times like this, just like in 2020 and so many other moments of social awakening in the last few years, our work as artists can feel disconnected with the immediate needs of the world. On this week’s solo episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on how I process that for myself. Alongside my originally planned episode of discussing a few of...2022-03-2637 min
The Maker's PlaybookEp: 216 - Building and Growing Our Communities with Phi Le of Illuminated ClaySend us a textDo you think of the word “business” as a dirty word? Does the idea of starting a business seem like the last thing that might bring about the change we so desperately need in the world? Could a business possibly do as much good for our communities as a non-profit organization? Well, this week’s podcast guest is building a business on their terms. And it’s one creating quite an impact. Phi Le has built their community pottery studio, Illuminated Clay, specifically focused on not only providing a safe space for people often no...2022-03-111h 07
The Maker's PlaybookEp: 215 - On Burnout and the Search for Balance with Nicole DaceySend us a textBurnout - If it wasn’t a word in your vocabulary before 2020, it probably is now. It’s a topic talked about a lot in the land of the self-employed and generally, the tactics for avoiding it are always given by someone who’s just recently, slowly, crawling out of it. But don’t worry - Nicole Dacey and I aren’t going to give you any of those tactics you’ve heard a million times. No, instead, we settled in for a simple, candid, straightforward conversation about the twists and turns your career can t...2022-03-041h 20
The Maker's PlaybookEp: 214 - Having a Non-Negotiable with Mike TavaresSend us a textWhat if you set up your life around one non-negotiable? How would that inform the decisions you make every day? How would that change your day-to-day schedule - where you live, what you choose to do for work (if it’s outside of the non-negotiable), how you commute… all of it. Maybe it’s a radical idea, but when I heard today’s podcast guest, Mike Tavares, describe this decision it was a big lightbulb moment.

The Maker's PlaybookEp: 213 - Taking Big Risks with Leila of Tierra Madera CeramicsSend us a textWhat’s the through-line for everyone thinking about going full-time with their art? Or even for those who are already full-time and self-employed? No matter what, aside from a slightly obsessive passion for our craft the big elephant in the room for us all is Risk. And today’s podcast guest stared risk in the face and said yes anyway. She said yes to moving cross country and yes to taking on the overhead of a storefront studio in the hopes of propelling her business farther forward than she ever has before.

The Maker's PlaybookEp: 208 - The Perks of Disparate Life Experiences with Kisha Reed of Peaks CandlesSend us a textOur final new interview episode before a little holiday and end-of-year break is an insightful one. So often all of us can feel like we're behind... As if we could be so much farther along with our making practices or small business had we only known 10 years ago that this is what we were going to want to do. But what if all those disparate life experiences are actually creating the precise set of skills you might need in the future to in fact launch your business? In big and small ways, that's...2021-12-1846 min
The Maker's PlaybookEp: 207 - Crafting a Life that Works for You with Bryan HopkinsSend us a textI've heard it said more than once by makers of many kinds: Being a self-employed artist isn't a job you turn off. It's more a way of life. There are certain choices we can make that can make life more stressful or more in tune with the kind of business (and making practice!) we want to have. This approach to building a life came up once again in my conversation this week with Bryan Hopkins. Have makers you'd love to hear on the podcast?

But what if your sales aren't going as planned? What if you haven't sold as much as you'd hoped? What if you haven't sold ANYTHING? What does it all mean?On this solo episode of the podcast, I'm talking about 2 words that get a bad reputation in the arts - sales & marketing.

For the ceramicists that are listening, there are SO many steps to our process! Making clay, building or throwing, trimming, glazing, firing... And there's seemingly endless options within any given one of those steps. How are we supposed to become proficient in all of these things?!

The Maker's PlaybookEp: 204 - Building a Commissions-based Business with David T KimSend us a textWhen I first started this podcast I wanted to make sure that we had a diverse breadth of stories. In fact, it was paramount to the focus of what this podcast would be. I was looking out onto the internet for how other ceramicists and makers made a living from the things they make, and all I really saw was one example - people hustling on Instagram to grow an audience, push that audience to Etsy or an online store, do a massive shop update, then lose their minds with packaging and shipping...2021-11-1256 min

Getting more followers is the solution to all my small business dreams!" Or perhaps, you've been watching a bit of TV and thought, “Well, if I was on the Great Pottery Throw Down, I could quickly increase my audience size, sell loads of pots, quit my full-time job and all of life's problems would be solved!"

The Maker's PlaybookEp: 202 - On Crafting a Business to Suit Your Life with Greta MichelleSend us a textSo often I hear makers talk about what they “should” be doing. How they “should” start posting on Instagram or “should” sell at markets, or “should” sell online. But how many of us have stopped to consider what we prefer? What suits us the best? What is the route in business that is most natural to our personalities and our personal lives?

And while I don't think I'm actually doing it all, running 2 photography studios, starting a podcast, and launching an online course all while moving and starting one of the busiest wedding seasons in the history of events, is a lot to manage.

The Maker's PlaybookEp: 126 - On the Importance of Experimenting with Tamara BryanSend us a textThis week I’m chatting with Tamara Bryan, who you might know on Instagram as Tamara B Pottery. Tamara studied pottery in college and has been working out of her home studio on and off for the past 20 years. I say on and off because as the primary care giver for her kiddos, while it may look to some that Tamara had the freedoms of a full-time potter, living the dream, the reality for her felt a lot more like the crazed side-hustle grind. It’s been a constant trial and error not only...2021-08-2046 min

We’re two impassioned Scorpios who didn’t realize we were going to find such a fast connection so needless to say, we got a little carried away. And as two fire signs, we also get fired up, so there is a bit of cursing in this episode. If you have little ones, I suggest saving this episode for later or enjoying the wond...2021-07-311h 14

The Maker's PlaybookEp: 121 - 4th and Final week of the Photography Extravaganza!Send us a textWhen I first started learning photography, what made it so overwhelming was the number of variables. Not just stand-alone variables (like the effect humidity has on my hair) but intersecting variables. If I change my shutter speed, what does that do to the effects of the ISO or the aperture? But at the same time, if I start changing everything at once, then I really have no freakin’ clue what is going on and which variable is getting me the results I do (or do not) want!! Cue - Overwhelm.So my...2021-06-2518 min

This week, week 3 (out of 4!) of the Photography Extravaganza, I'm talking about the 3 primary purposes of photography for makers and how each requires a very different approach to photography.Don't forget!
