Episode #9!  I am in conversation with Meira Mathison - renowned potter, and for 20+ years managing director of Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts.  We talk about where she found her clay calling - from living on a sailboat to building a house and studio to accommodate her clay addiction.  How she found her path through artist residencies, and how important it is for artists of all kinds to pursue inspiration through art centre facilities.  In the last part of our conversation, Meira talks about her involvement with MISSA, how a small movement of artists offering a few classes at a remote location in Metchosin on Vancouver Island has grown into an international school of the arts catering to facility and students from all over the world.
