Red Fox on the Run with Christiana Roussel

In this episode of Red Fox on the Run, Christiana Roussel sits down with ceramic artist Tena Payne, founder of Earthborn Pottery, to talk about the unexpected path that led her from Southern Living to creating some of the most sought-after plates in the culinary world.

Today, her work is used by James Beard Award-winning chefs like Chris Hastings, featured in restaurants from Las Vegas to Dubai, and included in the permanent collection at the James Beard House in New York City.

Tena shares how her relationship with chefs shaped her designs, the story behind her signature pieces, and what it means to create work that lives at the intersection of art and hospitality.

This is a conversation about instinct, reinvention, and building something lasting—one piece at a time.

Follow the instinct. Chase the story.
