The Strong Arm Pottery Tools

The Boss Base

Laura is not necessarily a natural at this. But she’s trying. Bear with her?

The Cult Pastor take the podcast microphone from Anne Saker, who after three years is now going to do lots more clay. Laura Davis is taking the show on the road as Ohio Clay.

Rounding the corner of the winter solstice, "Clay at Our Core" brings Glaze Boss Mason Deane into the Vault at Core Clay to talk about the year in glazes -- some glazes changed their nature, some chose violence. Also, Anne reminds you to come into the Mason Gallery of Fine Crafts and Arts to find that special something that really will be all they want for Christmas.

Back from a week off, Anne talks with Core Clay instructors Rebecca Jogan and Beth Loudenberg about how potters can expand their tool kits wth the studio's "Beyond the Basics" classes in wheel-throwing and hand-building. Though not on the recording, Vern Lash's thoughts are also known. Also, come on into the Mason Gallery. Everything is beautiful there!

A fresh all-studio notes edition, with details on December Clay Club events and what's going on in the Mason Gallery. Please support local businesses and artists this holiday season. No one needs any more mass-produced, souless product. Why, yes, those are Anne's mugs in the mug show.

With the year-end holidays fast upon us, Mason Gallery Director Robyn Singerman walks Anne through the schedule of the trunk shows and what's coming up for 2026. Also, Anne reminds: Come and get your lovely pots from the pickup shelves.

Anne drops the good results from the Empty Bowls fundraiser by the Clay Alliance; plus a new feature, Clio's Corner, about important moments in the history of pottery.

Laura Davis has been on the DL much of a year, and her recovery has been long, slow, often painful. But she got back to the wheel last month like the boss she is, and she will be featured (with partner Joe Bohache) in this week's holiday trunk show in the Mason Gallery. Anne lets you in on who else will be styling in the window space this season.
