Starting out as an independent potter, doing craft
shows was the only way I marketed and sold my
work, and, at the time, social media marketing
didn’t seem necessary. It was all about exploring
ideas and surviving off making work. I eventually
realized that this was not the most sustainable
model for me personally.
It was at this point that Jessie, an amazing glassworker and designer, proposed a shift. She had
become interested in slip-cast ceramics, and at the
same time I was given the opportunity to assist a
slip-casting workshop at Penland School of Crafts.
We had the space and tools and, after receiving a
grant through a local foundation, we had the funds
necessary to pursue a joint venture, now called
Bean and Bailey Ceramics.
