Hello Atelier 002

Meredith Host

In this episode of Hello Atelier, we talk with Meredith Host, a ceramicist and full time studio potter. We discuss how Meredith’s love of horror movies has influenced her work and inspired a series she once called a playful penchant for the bizarre. Listen in to find out what is inspiring her work these days (hint: you can find it in your bathroom!) and her strategies for maintaining a thriving ceramics business.
