Summary

Laurie Caffery Harris grew up in Boone, North Carolina, a small town surrounded by the peaks and valleys of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From a young age she was compelled to work with her hands, watching her mother, a professional painter. On weekends Laurie spent time in the woods with her father, where she learned to identify mountain ranges and types of trees. Encouraged by her creative parents, Laurie grew up passionately exploring different medias, primarily painting and drawing. It wasn't until beginning college that Laurie settled on a medium: clay. Four years later, Laurie received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in ceramics at Appalachian State University in May 2014. Laurie is currently an Artist in Residence at Odyssey Clayworks in Asheville, North Carolina where she continues to create and evolve her work.

So I had it wrong. So this is a correction. So instead of going back and re-recording the intros and the

0:30.0

outroes, I just thought I would let you know here. And so I'm going to retroactively go back and

0:34.4

put this in the old episodes. And I'm going to put a little correction

0:38.0

actually in there. So you're going to hear me start to say Friday, and then you'll hear

0:41.2

a correction. That correction can sound weird, because I'm going to dub it right over the

0:45.2

Friday or right around there. So when it comes to that time, just know that that was me being a

bozo. Okay, lots of love you. Here comes the show. This is the Potterscast.

Now, I do have to kind of tell you something about this particular season of making the

1:22.2

potter's cast. You know, by being up to episode 505, we've had a lot of episodes and we've spent a lot of time together,

1:30.2

especially if you've been listening to this from the very beginning.

1:33.3

You may have heard at one point where we had trees, 200 foot tall trees being felled in our backyard,
