Paul Blais | Episode 1

Green bowl w round red 2This is the first of the show notes for The Potters Cast. Because this is me, Paul Blais giving an introduction to the show, I thought I would take a moment and introduce myself here on the website also. I am a hobby potter that totally loves clay. I also love people and talking. I also am a podcaster for another show called Doubt The Doubts (www.DoubtTheDoubts.com). I’ve been wanting to serve the pottery/ceramic community for a log time with a podcast that was totally dedicated to them. This is show is it.

Here are a few examples of my work.

All of my work is currently fired to cone 6. I am not a glaze technician, but I do plan on growing in this area. Currently I use commercially available glazes for my work. My main work station is my Brent wheel. I love the strength and reliability of this wheel. Here’s a shot of me in my studio.

So that’s me in a nutshell. For more information about me or the podcast, check out the about page. If you would like to read more about my journey as a cancer patient, then check out my personal blog.

Lots of love to you.

    • Michael, thanks for the comment and I am really happy to hear you like the show. I would say at this point in the game, you are not even close to being a late arriver (I don’t think that is a real word, but I’m going to use it anyway). The show is exactly three weeks old. Welcome to the club!

  1. Paul,
    I’ve known about the Potter’s cast for about 6 months or so but began listening today. Super late arrival HOWEVER, I am enthralled. I love that you’re doing this. I recently relocated and the thing I am missing most is my connection to the pottery community and this feels like it’s filling that space for me right now. I can’t wait to continue through the episodes and catch up. 🙂
