Helen Levi from Helen Levi Ceramics

The one and only Helen Levi joins us this week from Queens, New York! We talk about how she transitioned into pottery after studying photography, road tripping across the states to visit ceramic factories, and how her business and practice has shifted over time. Helen tells us about how she began slip casting for the effect, her recent tile collaboration with Cerámica Suro, and her instinctual approach to color. We also discuss the pros and cons of production pottery vs. the artist myth and the benefits of working holistically.

Additional topics include: mopping hacks, car kilns, cup clubs, sidewalk sales and Willy Wonka.

Stay mushy,
Aimee & Clare
