In this episode of The Painterly Life Podcast, host Shannon Grissom sits down with ceramic artist Hal Raines for an inspiring and deeply personal conversation. Hal opens up about his journey with clay—from childhood influences to the way Parkinson’s has reshaped his creative practice. Together, they explore the power of community, mentorship, and the emotional dialogue between artist and material.

Hal shares how he “listens to the clay,” allowing it to guide his process, and reflects on the resilience and beauty found in picking up the pieces—both metaphorically and spiritually. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the transformative power of art and the lessons it teaches along the way.
