In this episode, Ammie Williams helps us break down design trends spotted at the Atlanta Market gift show and what they actually mean for pottery studios. From cherries, mushrooms, and nautical themes to oversized hand-built pieces, textures, and earthy tones, we talk through what’s here to stay, what’s evolving, and how to translate trend forecasting into real clay projects.

We also dive into stoneware, cone 6 glazes, mixed media techniques, and why experimentation, not perfection, is what keeps your studio creatively relevant.
