Life In The Studio is as beautiful and unexpected as Palmer's pottery, as breathtakingly colorful as her celebrated dahlias, as intimate as the dinners she hosts in her studio for friends and family. There are insights into making pots - the importance of centering, the discovery that clay has memory. Strategies for how to turn a passion into a business - the value to be found in collaboration, what it means to persevere, how to develop and stick to a routine that will sustain both enthusiasm and productivity.
The result is a portrait of a unique artist and a singularly generous manual on how to live a creative life.
