About This Podcast

Introducing ‘The Clay Place Podcast’ the podcast where creativity meets clay! Join Rebecca Norris, a former contestant from The Great Pottery Throwdown, as she delves in to uncover the heart and soul of the pottery world.

In each episode, Rebecca sits down with potters to explore their unique experiences and the significance that pottery holds in their lives. From the initial spark that ignited their passion to the twists and turns of their creative journeys, we dive deep into the stories that shape them.

Listen in for heart warming tales, insightful discussions, and a treasure trove of tips and techniques that will hopefully inspire you too! I intend to have a new podcast uploaded every 2 weeks but life is hectic, so please be patient if life gets in the way! 

So, grab your favourite mug, settle in, and let Rebecca and her guests sit with you to have a good chin wag about all things clay! 🎙️✨
