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.

Hey, hey, welcome to episode number 1,222 of the Potter's cast. Welcome to the show. We've got some big things coming up.

This weekend is one of them, which is here in the Pacific Northwest. There is a event going on

called Ceramic Showcase that Jennifer is a part of, and she, Amblewood Studio, she is ready to rock and roll.

Like, we've been sanding her work.

We've been a big shout out to Forrest Middleton, who makes the studio sander that just takes sanding to the next level.

I'm not even sure if he's even selling it anymore, but oh my gosh, it has changed my life so dramatically.

Our pots just come out feeling so smooth with the studio sander.

It's amazing. So I'm totally in love with the studio sander. I have spent so little time

sanding compared to what I used to do. Oh my word. It's an amazing piece of equipment. But if enough of you reach out to

Forrest, I'm sure he would consider it. Again, I'm just guessing. I don't know. I don't know.

Who doesn't like to see their products be in desire? And so maybe reach out to them. I don't know.

See what you could do. Just know this.

It will change your life. So anyway, I've been doing a lot of sanding and way less than I would have,

as I said, but it just changes the whole thing. Anyhow, so we're going to be going and setting up

tomorrow. I think, what's today? Today is Wednesday. No, today we're

going today. I'm recording this on Wednesday. How can I think that today is the set up day. So this

afternoon, I will be going down to Portland, to the convention center,

starting to do setup. Tomorrow we'll do some more. And then Friday morning, it starts.
