    Unicorn Vomit Everywhere – Very Cozy and Radical
    Fitrah Hamid Golden
    The “when” came from when I was motivated by the market experiences I had with the collective. I was motivated enough to think, well, even if I were independent of this program, if I were, for whatever reason, by myself, would that be the end of it for me, or would I want to continue, and in what way would I want to continue?

    Natori Mason
    One of my friends had introduced me to The Bottom, and quite literally, it changed my life. As I got to meet folks in the community and got to know the crew more, I truly felt at home, something I never felt in my actual hometown. The Bottom is the reason I made the decision to stay in Knoxville; what was supposed to be three months has turned into almost three years Read More.

    When I used to think of artists, I pictured a lone wolf in a studio, head down, furrowed brow, working away without looking up. While I know that is the reality for some, in my journey and practice, that is not always the case. It has been filled with community, mentorship, and connection, and I am deeply grateful for that.

    Claiming and Continuing
    Margo Miller
    Appalachia is often misunderstood. People tend to see the stereotypes before they see the people. For me, Appalachia is front porches and sweet tea, but it is also grit, kinship, hard truths, and deep care. It is a place where people have never lacked the will or the skill to organize, make do, speak up, and look after one another. It is a region full of creativity, resilience, humor, contradiction, and beauty. Read More.

In This Issue – Ceramic Soul Collective: A Rhythm of Community

Every ceramics community has its own rhythm. Some are built around universities or longstanding studios. Others begin with a single workshop, a handful of people, and the willingness to keep showing up. Ours began with an invitation. Before any of us thought of ourselves as ceramicists… Read More

In This Issue – From Where I Stand

Happy 250th anniversary to the United States. Two hundred and fifty years is certainly a remarkable milestone in the life of a nation. And yet, anniversaries have a way of reminding me that time is measured differently depending on where we stand. As I write this, I have one foot in… Read More
