Donte chats with Jim Skutt and Chad Stewart of Skutt. Yes. That Skutt. There’s talk of firing best practices, the future of ceramics education, some really impactful new projects coming down the pipeline, Donte’s ultimate kiln feature wish list…and the definitive answer to how many peep holes to leave open during a firing. 


What would you have asked Skutt if you were sitting with Donte in this episode?
