Description

Some conversations are 15 years in the making. Ryan reconnects with Preston Tolbert, whose innovative approach to ceramics first caught his attention after a trip to Japan. As part of the 3rd Wheel Potters collective residency at Mirai, Preston, along with Eli Akins and Rob Wallace, created a remarkable body of work blending tradition, experimentation, and artistry. In this episode, we dive deep into Preston’s journey, his influences, and the creative mind behind the vessels recently released on Mirai Goods. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this long-overdue conversation with a truly remarkable artist.
