In this episode, the host welcomes a pottery artist Hitomi Aihara who transitioned from a marine biology career to becoming a full-time ceramicist. The discussion explores the importance of pursuing joy in pottery, the artist's journey starting with a COVID-era pottery kit, and the role of social media in growing their art practice. The conversation dives into how marine biology knowledge influences their pottery, the significance of creating functional art, and the challenge of self-criticism. The artist shares insights on using digital platforms effectively, blending sculptural and functional elements, and advice for other potters on discovering their unique voice.
