I drove an hour out to the West Valley of Phoenix, AZ to meet with pottery artist Bill Lindsay of spines.n.clay. Bill specializes in hand made pottery for cactus and succulents which is where his journey began in the pottery art world. We spend the afternoon getting to know Bill as we tour his studio and see his pottery making process. Bill also treats us to a demo of how he builds his signature reptilian pot from scratch - it's a technique that he previously referred to as his trade secret but has since decided to share it with you, my Cookie's Cacti friends. Let's just say that the inspiration may have come from butter art! We also get to unload a fresh kiln with Bill - what an honor!
Bill talks about his journey to running his pottery business full-time and the hours of work and practice to perfect his craft with his meticulous attention to detail. Bill is now selling his pottery on Palmstreet (formerly known as Plantstory, which I still owe you all a giveaway - don't worry it will happen!). I'm so happy to learn that Bill's experience as a vendor on Palmstreet is consistent with my experience as a buyer - we're all obsessed with Palmstreet!
