The Potters Cast

Kevin "Turkey" Merck makes functional ceramic ware with a horror twist. Kevin's work is painstakingly handcrafted and custom glazed which makes each mug an individual piece of art. Though some work has a mold as a starting point, Kevin spends hours shaping and forming through hands-on craftsmanship. Kevin also incorporates fantasy and sci-fi elements into his work when the mood strikes him. https://ThePottersCast.com/1276

Anna Gadzhikurbanova is a Russian ceramic artist whose work blends psychology and biology into biomorphic forms. Developing her practice across Tokyo and Austin, Anna crafts functional wheel-thrown pieces alongside handbuilt sculptural objects, exploring the parallels between natural living systems and human emotion through clay and glaze patterns. https://ThePottersCast.com/1275

Still considering herself a student of the craft, Kerry now creates from her backyard studio, embracing the joy of handmade pottery while dreaming of a retirement that leaves plenty of room for family, creativity, and clay. https://ThePottersCast.com/1274

David Schlapobersky & Felicity Potter were on The Potters Cast way back in episode 82 in the very early, early days of the podcast. This is one of my favorite conversations I have ever had. I have thought of these two many times over the years. I recently discovered that Felicity had passed away in March of this year. I though it would be good to revisit this conversation in memory of Felicity. https://ThePottersCast.com/1272
