Скачать или смотреть 170. My 2025 Pottery Year: Health Update, Studio Growth, Community & Looking Ahead to 2026

In this video I’m sharing a real-time personal update and reflecting on my 2025 pottery journey — from health challenges and loss, to creative growth, community connections, studio expansion, collaborations, and what I’m gently planning for 2026.

I talk honestly about recovery after surgery, the people who shaped my year, learning new pottery techniques, expanding my studio, firing my raku kiln for the first time, teaching workshops, collaborations, YouTube growth, and why enjoyment and curiosity are at the heart of everything I do with clay.

In this video you’ll see and hear about:
A brief health update after surgery
Reflections on the highs and lows of my 2025 pottery year
The power of community and friendships in ceramics
studio growth, new kilns, tools and techniques
Raku firing, sculpting, workshops and learning
Commissions, markets, website sales and collaborations
YouTube analytics and what I learned from them
My intentions and creative focus for 2026
