Mark Bateman, a visual artist, actor, and writer, shares his experience with pottery and how it has enriched his life. Bateman started pottery as a way to stay creative and overcome writer's block. He eventually became a pottery teacher at Featherstone Center for the Arts on Martha's Vineyard. Bateman encourages people to try new things and be brave enough to be bad at something, as it is a way to learn and grow. He sells his pottery under the brand name Dog Ear Pottery and plans to sell at the Chilmark Flea Market. Pottery helped Bateman overcome his writing block, and he even wrote for Ceramics Monthly Magazine. He emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and trying new things [17f30359].

Pottery enthusiasts in Pittsburgh have also found a way to take their passion to the next level. Daniel Vito, owner of Fireborn Gallery, has been making clay pots since 1972 and owns his own studio where he has been teaching students for the past twenty-five years. With the pandemic, there has been a surge in interest in pottery and taking classes. To support potters and students, Vito started the non-profit organization Clay Pittsburgh last April. The organization aims to connect potters with each other and help students transition from the classroom to their own studio. Clay Pittsburgh also holds exhibitions to showcase the work of potters and connect customers with the artists behind their favorite ceramic pieces. The next exhibition is scheduled for November 9th through the 10th [b3553dee].
