444: Sam Lopez on making a life in southern California

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast we have an interview with Sam Lopez. Based in San Diego, he makes porcelain pots that are decorated with blue and white patterns that melt and blur in the kiln. In our interview we talk about his family ties to Craft, finding his path in ceramics, and the joys of parenthood. To see examples of his work, visit www.slopstudios.com .
