This is the Potter's Cast.

A podcast home for potters everywhere.

It's a community of potters dedicated to grow their business.

We're picking up where the art degree ends.

I'm your host, Paul Blaze.

And here we are getting together in episode number 931 of The Potter's Cast.

Welcome to the show. We are going to go talk with Ben Clark

today. And if you were in Cincinnati for Enseek it this past month, then you would know that

there's an amazing community clay center there called Queen City Clay, or at least you probably would have heard of it while

you were there. But even if you weren't a part of Enseca, you may have heard of Queen City Clay

on your own just because that place is amazing. Good night. That place is a 50,000 square feet of

studio. I mean, just amazing that it's got a building that

rockin' big. And they do tons of stuff there. Well, anyhow, Ben Clark is the owner of it.

He didn't found it, but he was the, he's the current owner of the business and, and is rocking it.

Well, this was an interesting conversation because we talked about the idea of a community

clay center and what it takes to do that and to build it and to have a thing like that going on.

And so I was so stoked because we had an

opportunity to sit down there at Enseca and to talk about this. Now, we talked specifically

about the idea of buying a clay business, which is again, Queen City Clay. And that's been what Ben's process was or Ben's story is

is that he was the guy that bought the business so we talk about that so it's quite an

interesting conversation so let's jump in this conversation that I had about the purchase

of Queen City Clay while I was at N-Sika with Ben Clark.
