This week, I talk with potter Nell Van Vorst in her studio. Her porcelain pottery often features very simple line drawings of plants and animals, their forms reduced to their essentials. We explore her studio and talk about pottery, the natural world, and her process. Check out her work on her website.

My radio debut! Thanks to Justine for not only interviewing me for a news article in the summer, but for bringing that footage back to life on the radio this month. Great to hear myself talking through things from July, really makes me realize how much I have done in so little time.
