Focus: Working Potters

In this issue, we cover the careers of several working potters who have either transitioned into life as a working artist from another career or from school, apprenticeships, and internships within the last 10 years or so. Their paths are varied and provide insight into both the satisfaction and stress of making a living in clay. —Sherman Hall, Editor.

On the cover: Monica Ripley's dinner plates, 12 in. (30 cm) in diameter, porcelain, copper slip decoration, oxidation-fired to cone 10, 2014.
