Seth Rogen on his love of pottery and The Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down

Published 2024-02-16
About five years ago, Seth Rogen posted a picture on Instagram of seven rudimentary clay objects with the caption: “So maybe I joined a pottery studio so I could start making my own ashtrays.” Now, he’s taken his love for pottery to the next level by signing up as an executive producer for the competition show The Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down. He also appears throughout the series as a guest judge. Seth tells Tom Power what inspired his love of pottery, if he finds it therapeutic, and how the imagery and design around weed paraphernalia has changed since legalization.

    Inhaling smoke is bad for you. No matter what kind of smoke it is. Some smoke is worse than others, but inhaling any smoke is bad for you. That doesn't stop me from taking advantage of the law in my state, but inhaling smoke is still something that a person should not do.
