Carolyn Tripp makes traditionally-shaped porcelain ceramics but gives them a contemporary twist. In this episode, she tells of how family members first piqued her interest in ceramics, why she gave up a successful career in advertising to follow her passion, how she flourished during her degree at Camberwell College in London, how she helps support people with mental illness through creating ceramics after processing grief of her own, and how she gives her pieces a modern feel.
