405: Meet the Parents – Brian Jones and Melissa Weimer

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have the third installment in a series of interviews about parenting. For the series I invited artist couples to talk with each other about finding balance between creative work and life as a parent. Today’s interview features Brian Jones and Melissa Weimer. The couple are based in Connecticut, where Brian is a studio potter and Melissa is a physician specializing in addiction medicine. For more information visit www.brianrjones.com.
