The first of our Australian tour podcasts, and get this, this one wasn't event planned. Steph was the amazing potter that made the plates for our table at the great takeaway, an event put on by the creative city of Ballarat. From here we got talking and we Kate and I had the pleasure of sharing a table with her at the Mayoral dinner a few nights after we initially met. From there we agreed we would do a podcast before we set off from Ballarat and onto our Australian adventures. So here it is, a lot of fun, a lot of insight into the world of this amazing potter and founder of the Ballarat clay collective. A true community champion. Steph Wallace. Both Kate and I loved the energy Steph brought to this podcast, and bring to everyday life. She is a hoot to be around and as passionate about her craft as she is about enjoying it. Steph shares some insights into how she markets her work and how she has built a life of joy through her craft. WANT TO SUPPORT THIS PODCAST?
