Tales of a Red Clay Rambler: A pottery and ceramic art podcast show

Summary: Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Jan Richardson. From 1977 to 2006 she ran Windy Meadows Pottery specializing in collectible ceramic homes. The business quickly grew into a economic force employing 50 local artists while developing a loyal national collector base. In the interview we talk about keeping a production line fresh, upscaling a small business through a distributed labor force, and knowing when to downscale after a boom.
