“I always try to integrate and keep the integrity of the raw clay. Even when applying glazes and colors to it, I’ll always want that to show through… I want that little piece to always be in there, that texture, that feel, that grittiness, that earthiness.”

— Audrey Stamps

If you’ve ever worked in corporate (or work in corporate currently), then you likely understand what it’s like to dream about leaving for a more creative and fulfilling career.

My guest Audrey Stamps actually made that move.

Audrey has always been interested in the arts — she was raised on art history and crafting projects by her art-loving mother.

While working as a corporate designer, Audrey felt stifled and bored.

Now, she’s a talented, full-time potter whose collections regularly sell out just hours after they drop.

But following her pottery dreams wasn’t always smooth sailing.

In this conversation, Audrey talks about dealing with the creative learning curve, finding her signature style, and the challenge of finding balance when your work doesn’t actually feel like work.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of the podcast,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

How Audrey transitioned from doing corporate design at a marketing firm to being a full-time creative entrepreneur
Where Audrey finds her inspiration for her pottery pieces
How to find balance while building a business that you’re genuinely passionate about
