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!
Wheel Talk
#94s - Is your work food safe?
Ryan and Becca answer a question that has come over multiple times: how to quality test your pottery. We cover a number of testing methods to ensure your work is safe for food or drink & resistant to high stress situations. Enjoy and run a few of these tests on your own work to feel more confident in your finished products that are purchased by customers.
