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!

Listener Questions
On this episode:
- How do you know when it’s time to change thermocouple? I have a Skutt. The metal part of thermocouple looks black and dropping black flecks inside kiln. One person I asked said “wait until it fails and kiln will tell you”. Not sure I want to risk a kiln load of firing that way. Do you have a better recommendation? @sarahhagopian
- Health, safety and cleanliness in a (shared) studio space @annaduweke
