Clark County Open Studios | Episode 1080

Clark County Open Studios is a juried show that takes place throughout Clark County in Southwest Washington. Each year 50 artist are chosen to participate along with 3 emerging artists. This year my wife, Jennifer and I were accepted into the show along with a number of other ceramic artists. Jennifer and I hosted an “after party” with a few of the other ceramic artists to talk about the event.  Below are the artists we talked with for this episode. I asked these two questions: What is one thing that you will do next year if you are juried back in and what is one thing that you won’t be doing again next year?

The Potters Cast | Episode 1000

1,000 episodes! When The Potters Cast first started I had no idea that we would ever get to this many episodes. But here we are… episode number 1,000. And there is nothing but thanks in my heart for all the love and support. In celebration we are doing two things… First my wife, Jennifer and I jumped on a couple of mics and Jennifer interviewed me. So I’ll put a of pic of my work below. The second thing we did was that we asked people to record a message for The Potters Cast. So below I included links to their IG accounts (the ones that I could) and picture of their work. A huge thank you to all of you for being a part of this incredible journey. Lots of love to you.

Paul Blais | Episode 300

The mic gets turned around in this special episode of The Potters Cast: Some member of The Potters Business Mastermind interview me, Paul Blais. This is in celebration of hitting episode 300 and in honor of such a great accomplishment I asked for some volunteers from the mastermind group to spend some time with me on Google Hangouts and do a special edition for The Potters Cast. It was a lot of fun spending this special time with them and I am really happy to be able to share it with you. Our interviewers are Elizabeth Borowsky, Carly Gibran, Kathleen Blohm, and Bebe Federman.
