Kevin Keane is a brand new arrival in the pottery game. Kevin touched clay for the first time a little over 12 months ago from the time of this episode, and has been on a whirlwind journey of making and learning since. Now based in County Clare, on the West Coast of Ireland, Kevin spent most of 2023 travelling by land from Ireland to Morocco, all the way to Norway, taking pottery classes and meeting Masters from different disciplines. Kevin is very much in the developmental phase of his career - having sold out in just one day at Christmas markets in Dublin, and a successful first online sale, 2024 looks bright for Kevin!  http://ThePottersCast.com/996

 htt Sarah Kaye has always been drawn to the tactile world of 3D creation. Fond memories of her mum's homemade play-dough and her insistence on clay projects in art class foreshadowed her future path. Sarah studied Product Design at Parsons School of Design and dug deeply into her minor in Ceramic for Industrial Production under the guidance of  Marek Cecula. However, recognizing the practicalities of life after graduation, Sarah ventured into advertising as a Strategic Planner, where she discovered unexpected parallels of the design process and understanding consumer behavior - thinking about product use and the consumer's experince of them. In Seattle, Sarah was accepted to the two year Pottery Northwest residency program, the last group of residents to be guided by the delight that is Wally Bivens. Starbucks recruited Sarah for a project while still in the program there, as did a local espresso machine manufacturer. Twelves years later, SKaye Ceramics is based in Seattle's Georgetown and Sarah has close ties to the coffee community who have been the patron saints of her small business. http://ThePottersCast.com/1023
