| 0:00.0 | This is the Potter's Cast, a podcast home for potters everywhere. It's a community of |
| 0:06.4 | potters dedicated to grow their business. We're picking up where the art degree ends. I'm your |
| 0:11.6 | host, Paul Blaze. Hello and welcome to episode number 825 of the Potter's cast. So stoked to be hanging out with you. Hey, we in the |
| 0:26.0 | Pacific Northwest have had a crazy week of weather. We're in April, April, and we had snow, which was why we did that special episode last episode, was just kind of a |
| 0:44.9 | random snow day episode. |
| 0:46.5 | What's so crazy about it is I talked about this in the last episode. |
| 0:49.6 | Like every 80, like the last time we had snow in April, it was like 80 years ago, and it was like |

| 2:05.4 | talk about her process of how she does what she does to be able to make what she makes. And it's these |
| 2:13.4 | kind of fictitious plants that, in fact, that's exactly what she said at one point. She said, I've got fictitious plants growing in fact that's exactly what she said at one point she said i've got |
