I’d Rather Be Making Pottery
Pottery - perhaps humankind’s earliest chemistry experiment - didn’t come naturally to Margie Zavoico, but that didn’t stop her from falling in love with it. In this episode, we start at the beginning of Margie's journey, when every day with the clay felt like an uphill battle, and end in the present, with Raku firing explosions, elusive infinity bowl curves, and a brand new studio in Asheville, NC's River Arts District.
