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!

- Why do people only want to buy mugs?! @gooseandswanpottery
- I’ve recently started a home studio, I’d love to know how to maintain a budget and file those taxes! How do you keep track? Pile of receipts? Excel sheet? What counts as a write-off? I realize this might be a question for a CPA but any insight would be helpful. @palermoceramics
