Wheel Talk
Ryan Durbin (@rdceramics) & Becca Otis (@5linespottery) share their experiences as potters, makers, small business owners, and creatives. Becca is a full time studio potter, while Ryan is a full time website developer and part time potter. We'd love to share our ups and downs along the way as we build our skills as makers and small business owners in an honest, informal manner. We hope to bring you helpful tips we've learned over the years, learn from each other, and share expertise from a number of guests with you also. Please join us for some Wheel Talk!

#159 - Throwing sh** & talking pots with Diana Adams from Sample Haus
Ryan and Becca are joined today by Diana Adams from Sample Haus. She's mostly known for her entertaining Instagram but we get into so much more on today's episode. We cover how she got into pottery, her recent experience at the Clay Challenge in Tacoma, WA, partnership with West Elm, balancing her workload, Patreon, managing Instagram, and a bit more. Thanks to Diana for joining us on another fun episode!
We forgot to talk about the upcoming Clay Con West conference that Diana and we will be presenting at. We hope to see you there in Saint George, Utah in January 2023. Check out the website at https://clayconwest.com/.

Listener Questions
On this episode:
- How do you guys manage your time with regard to working in the studio and marketing (posting studio pics/ videos/ updates/product updates etc) . Do you create content, save it, & post it at the end of the day or do you just go with the flow and post it as and when stuff happens? Do you plan your posts and curate them accordingly or they are more of an impromptu thing? @matibani_pottery
