In this episode we have the privilege to speak to two amazing artists - Shannon Garson & Sarah Rayner! Both women live and work on beautiful Jinibara Country (Maleny and surrounds) in Regional Queensland (in the background you can hear the local birds squawking/chirping and leaves rustling.)
It's a long rich chat. We cover so many great topics - clay origin stories, working from a home studio, finding your voice, artist statements, importance of community, and the power of critique.
