In the podcast episode we hear from Sarah Pike, a potter who has transformed her early fascination with clay into a successful career, balancing the demands of family life on a ranch with her passion for pottery. She recounts her transition from wheel throwing to slab-built pottery, and the creative freedom it brought. Sarah emphasizes the importance of perseverance, mentorship, and community in shaping one's artistic identity and encourages creators to keep asking "what if" to fuel innovation. She also discusses the role of social media in building a supportive network and selling pottery.
