Episode 2 / LAUREL KEELEY Creativity & hope.
Laurel Keeley is a potter working in stoneware.
I’ve been working with Laurel for over 13 years but this was the first visit to her new home and studio on the outskirts of the city. The conversation was a chance to talk about the things currently at the forefront of Laurel’s mind as she enters her 44th year of making pots. We talked about what’s changed in that time, what’s stayed the same, her approach to managing creative block and what she’s finding hopeful.
