We had a nice chat about my background and ideas about pottery and firing.  You can find the episode here: The Potscast with… Al WaymanAlso, here in the link to my new Facebook Business Page
S2E5: Appeasing The Kiln Gods- Firing Your Pottery
I was able to run the test kiln to try a few things. For the last few firings I have been stuffing wood down the center of the updrafts and getting some interesting results. Here I show pots from a small testing firing I did and also discuss raw fire defects and also defects from the firing schedule of this kiln load.

Many local artist of Wyoming County Pennsylvania took part in the Arts& Artists Tour held May 5th, 6th & 7th 2023. I had the privilege of showing the pots with painters Susan Jayn and Joan Yeager at the Oldest House.

Many times, you just need to keep showing up for yourself and others. Losing a whole buying community will take a while to walk off, but I had already started diversifying last year and so only lost about 1/3 of my revenue.I’m a big community guy, and my peeps were so much fun. I do hope to rebuild in some way on a platform that is more supportive, maybe. May I never get so big I quit caring about the little folks.Seth Godin's Book: The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick) Stop by the page and say hello!www.creekroadpottery.com
S2E4: Is It Time To Quit? - Creating Your Pottery
Bad guys took over my Facebook Creek Road Pottery Business site, but I am still making pots here at Creek Road Pottery LLC. Here I talk about carbon trapping and creating work with limitations to push yourself. Thanks for those to came to find me. I hope to keep creating work that matters for people who care.

Carbon Trapping & Working With Limitations
Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-pfv68-13cb8e4 In this episode, we talk about idea generation; collecting, and the germination of creative seeds using the book "The Creative Act: A Way Of Being." by Rick Rubin  Many times we might stall when we run out of ideas creatively.  That's why it's important to collect many seeds and store them to plant later.  Seeds will not grow if you never water them or if you're too overbearing.  How do you collect creative seeds? Email me and let me know at creekroadpottery@gmail.comAl Wayman  owner / artist Creek Road Pottery LLCwww.creekroadpottery.com
S2E3: Collecting and Sprouting Seeds of Ideas: Making Your Pottery
The early Spring weather was terrible and I was late promoting the show but folks still showed up so I got a bit lucky. Here I talk about some of the results from the Spring show firings.
Creek Road Pottery: The Spring Show 2023 Review
