In this Be The Frequency interview, Dr. Shalane Carter speaks with Meg Mashore, co-founder of Common Ground Pottery and owner of Rox Management, about building community through a “Third Place” pottery studio.
Meg shares that the studio was community-first and pottery-second, emphasizing inclusivity without trying to be for everyone, and the necessity of accepting failure, ego checks, and the pressure of stewarding a 24/7 space. T
hey discuss how adult friendships are harder to form, why pottery uniquely grounds people away from technology, and how community can extend into supporting neighboring local businesses.
Meg connects her drive for community to losing her mother, a family matriarch, and to COVID’s community loss, and reflects on parenting, grit, people-pleasing as control, and living with intention as the key to a fulfilled life.
