In this episode, I’m joined by ceramic artist Katie Robins, who shares the story behind building her own handmade ceramics business from the ground up. We chat about how a love of making developed into a full-time creative career, the inspiration behind her work, and what it’s really like running a business where every piece is made by hand. Katie speaks openly about the highs and lows of life as a maker, from memorable milestones and achievements to the challenges that come with balancing creativity and business. Along the way, we explore confidence, finding your own style, staying motivated through difficult periods, and what success means when you’re pursuing a creative life on your own terms. Whether you’re an artist, maker, creative entrepreneur, or simply someone who loves hearing the stories behind handmade work, I hope you’ll enjoy this honest and inspiring conversation.
