345: Audra Doughty on adapting community-based education to the COVID era

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Audra Doughty. She has used her business Mud Queen Pottery to create a thriving community of ceramic enthusiasts in the Harrisburg, PA area. After Pennsylvania reopened in-person businesses she adapted her classroom to make it safe for students to learn in-person while social distancing. In our interview we talk about renovating a farmhouse barn into an art center, taking risks to expand her business, and tips for creating a safe working environment.

Many states are already in the voting process with record turnout for early voting. Visit the website to find out more on how to safely vote in your state.
