Bryan Hopkins is a Buffalo, NY potter and educator. As a young man he was involved in the punk scene and activism of the early 80's. He found clay and, although in a somewhat different trajectory than his early days, is still engaged socially. This conversation is from 2016, we spoke over Skype, and some points of our discussion are a bit dated, but some are more relevant than ever (racial justice). You can read some of Bryan's writing here.
