Features in this Issue

Welcome to the fourth issue of Studio Talk! Brought to you by the staff of Ceramics Monthly and Pottery Making Illustrated, this compendium is filled with articles by ceramic makers to watch and discover. The following pages feature 8 artists who open up to readers about their inspiration, thoughts on ceramic trends, and their role in the ceramics field. Several of these innovative thinkers also take us step by step through the techniques they use and the tools that help them realize their ideas. Others share a sneak peek into their studios and talk about their day-to-day practices. We hope you enjoy this deep dive into the creative minds and lives of fellow ceramic artists.
