During that time, Becca worked as a large scale production potter. Her focus today remains on efficient movements within the throwing process. She teaches throwing courses online, and offers private instruction to those wanting to imrove and streamline their throwing skills. Since embracing van life, Becca has scaled down her production work. She has created a line of brightly colored jewelry with an entire line dedicated to reminiscing the 80’s. You can also find Becca on a popular podcast in the pottery community - Wheel Talk Podcast (https://www.wheeltalkpotcast.com/listen). She and Ryan Durbin of RD Ceramic talk about all the ins and outs or being a potter, and have interviewed many potters throughout their 5 years of operation. Becca visited Statesville this Fall as she headed down the East Coast on a van trip never to be forgotten and loved it so much, she has moved here!!! This will be Becca's first workshop at CrEaTe since becoming a Statesvillian:)
