    Recorded February 8, 2021.

    Studio potter Akira Satake shapes his story for us as he circled around creativity through a variety of life paths. He started his journey through photography and music but came to a breaking point that led him to pottery. Through ceramics, Akira is inspired by the collaboration between himself, clay and fire. Even when he thinks he might be disappointed with a piece when opening the kiln he is pleased to find the beauty of one small area of his work that wasn’t first apparent. Akira’s good nature and ongoing collaboration with life and work are underlying themes for this amazing episode!

    Recorded January 18, 2021.

    Metalsmith Erica Moody introduces us to her first experiences with setting goals, financial stress, large projects and the behind the scenes effort that goes into building a business. In a moment of life’s intensity she pivoted toward her current style of work by coming around to her place as a maker in Maine. She specializes in creating fine metal wares such as utensils and even custom architectural hardware, furniture, and marine hardware. And, rumor has it, she’s making bespoke mixers and plans to take over the KitchenAid empire one beater at a time. There are plenty of satisfying ingredients in this episode: a sprinkle of philosophy, a dash of laughter and a solid base note of good intention.

    Side Projects: Coffee and Ruskins Dec 08, 2020
    Show notes

    Recorded December 3, 2020.

    This Side Projects starts with announcements from John C. Campbell Folk School and North House Folk School, and progresses into a collaboration with Ray Deftereos of Hand Tool Book Review podcast! Ray chose to share and provide context for a reading from John Ruskin of the Arts and Crafts movement. Many listeners are most likely familiar with Ruskin in name but perhaps are not as versed in his writing itself. Ray’s selection sparks some thoughts for Brien and Amy and hopefully for our listeners as well!
