Send us Fan MailWelcome back to another episode of the Maker’s Playbook! If you’ve been following along real-time, you know this episode is launching a couple of days later than usual, because my friends… woof! It’s August, and I’m still a wedding photographer… life is a weeeee bit crazy.This week, I’m sharing an incredibly candid conversation I had with Katie Meili, who is a resident potter at The Village Potters in Asheville, North Carolina. We chat about the difficulties of mental health and how it feels when life takes unexpected turns that throw you off a path everyone else around you is on…. The silver linings that brought us to clay, and the importance of having a community that supports and pushes us as artists.   Oh, not to mention, how an entire ruined kiln - I’m talking ENTIRE kiln load of completely ruined pots - brought Katie to her distinct style we know and love today.Find the full show notes at https://www.makersplaybook.com/podcast/If you missed out on joining our community for the Maker's Photography Styling System, you can snag the cheat sheet to start taking better photos faster (and get free monthly photography tips specific to ceramicists & makers) by clicking here!!For full show notes and links to all of our guests' resources visit: www.makersplaybook.com/podcastGuest Details:Katie Meili's Instagram---Looking for support in building your own creative life?
