Introducing CLAY IS A 4 LETTER WORD. A podcast about clay and life and art. This is the trailer to give the audience an idea of what to expect.  A celebration of the process of ceramics and all the failures and life lessons learned through clay and fire. Candid conversations about ceramics, pottery, sculpture, art and life.   A look at the historical and world perspective of ceramics and how do we still make new pots and art in our contemporary society?  

Most importantly this podcast is about people and relationships and how does clay fit in our lives.  The Ceramics Community has bonded closer together over the last 10 years through different platforms of  social media and the internet.  Instagram, YouTube and Podcasting are easily accessible and best of all, FREE! I hope to continue to help build an even stronger community in the future.  Thanks!  -Ryan
