About This Video

In this vlog, I finally do the thing I’ve been talking about forever: I said I’d start a pottery business… so that’s what I’m doing. It’s a very “wait… am I a potter now?” moment, but I walk you through what it actually looks like to shift from making work in Jingdezhen as an apprentice into making work with intention—like, pieces that could realistically live in a shop, ship safely, and still feel like me. I share the behind-the-scenes decisions that come with turning studio time into something more official: what I’m making, how I’m thinking about consistency, and what I’m learning as I go. I also talk about the materials I’m using right now—glazes and underglazes I’m testing and keeping in rotation—because the “business” part isn’t just branding, it’s repeatable processes. And if you’re someone who wants to learn in Jingdezhen with me, I included the update about my Global Pottery Bootcamp (with ZhanShao Ceramics Practice Base) and where to find the info packet and enrollment form. This video is basically my honest starting line: excited, a little nervous, and committed to building it anyway.
