Episode 14 - "God the Artist: Revealing God's Creative Side Through Pottery" Author - Morgan McCarver

Episode 14 With the uber-Powerful, Morgan McCarver. Today on the show, we've got an inspiring story of resilience and artistic transformation. Morgan is a rising star in the ceramics world and a published Author, but her journey started in a completely different place.(Sound of ballet shoes scraping the floor)Morgan was a dedicated dancer, but a scoliosis surgery forced her to hang up her dancing shoes. Devastated, she needed a new creative outlet.(Sound of pottery wheel turning)Enter clay! Morgan took a summer pottery class, it was creative love at first spin. That spark ignited a passion that led her to get a degree in ceramics and even win the Outstanding Art Major Ceramics Award. Morgan's not just talented, she's driven. She runs her own business, Morgan McCarver Porcelain, with studios in both Asheville and Spartanburg. Her beautiful work has been featured in galleries and exhibitions all over the US, including three solo shows with titles that just beg you to see them – "FemininiTEA," "The Strength of a Wildflower," and even "Postures in Porcelain." And the accolades keep coming! Morgan recently received a North Carolina Arts Council Artist Support Grant, and her floral designs are so unique, they're copyrighted! If you'd like to see Morgan's stunning work for yourself, head over to her website, visit her Etsy shop or view her book as well and treat yourself (or someone special) to a piece. But beyond her talented work in ceramics, Morgan is an embodiment of commitment and resilience, in our conversation we talked finding creative avenues after life struggles and pitfalls. We discussed the political climate and navigating an ever evolving society while preserving the love for ones faith and savior. With that said, Morgan's life isn't all about the studio. Sundays are reserved for her faith. As an active member of Brookstone Church, she finds joy in her small group and volunteering with the youth. Her story is a testament to the power of finding new passions and staying true to your values. So tune in and I hope you enjoy this chat with Morgan. As with all my guests its an honor to be in audience to their viewpoints and ideas.
