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 just like that, episode number 1,227 of the Potter's cast has just begun, and I'd like to say a big fat welcome to the show.

Yes.

This is, look, it's just a little bit of an update on my personal health that I've been dealing with since En Sika. I had that cough that developed on the airplane ride home, and it's now the seventh week, and I still have it, where I will get like this irritating cough that just kind of comes up.

The nice thing is it is tapering off.

I'm no longer being woken up in the middle of the night,

but isn't that crazy how long one of these things can jump onto you and won't let go?

Well, this past weekend, you heard me talking in the other episodes about an upcoming event that was going to be taking place

at Clayworks in Vancouver, which was a pop-up sale. You know, it was our spring sale that

was taking place in our studio there at Clayworks, Vancouver. And I just want you to know,

it was kind of amazing. I was a bit nervous

because I had been, you know, I've just been so busy with work and things. And I don't think that

I did what I could have done for getting the word out there.

But amazingly enough, as soon as 10 o'clock, which was what time we were scheduled to open,

as soon as 10 o'clock rolled around, good night, people just started coming.

It was just like constant all day long.

I think it was until about like an hour and a half before closing that we finally had like

about a 15, 20 minute break where there was nobody coming into the studio.
