48. Stamina in the Studio: “I need to be a spring of artistic juice!”

The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes

Lindsey and Donte answer a listener question about stamina in the studio – mental, physical, and creative stamina.

Alongside some practical tips about how to get the most out of your time on the wheel, Donte and Lindsey discuss their sometimes differing philosophies about when to push through emotional blocks, whether to focus on production consistency or a unique artistic calling, and how to avoid old mistakes when starting a new project.

A huge thanks to Natalie and Rae of @poutypottery for this question!

Give their question a listen, and tell us in the comments…what do you do to extend your time in the studio without seeing your work suffer?
