Tales of a Red Clay Rambler: A pottery and ceramic art podcast

Sarah Wells Rolland founded the Village Potters in the River Arts District of Asheville, NC in 2011. The art center housed a community of seven resident potters, as well as dozens of students through their classes and mentorship program. In late September Hurricane Helene turned the French Broad into a raging river that destroyed the Village Potters. In our interview we talk about the history of the art center and their ongoing recovery from catastrophic flooding. You can support The Village Potters recovery efforts on GoFundMe and find out more at www.thevillagepotters.com.   Many thanks to the folks that supported my holiday sale this year.

Greg Daly is a master of the luster genre using a reduction kiln to create rich surfaces that depict the Australian landscape. In our interview we talk about how subtle differences in reduction affect luster surfaces, teaching as an act of problem solving, and why collecting other artists work has been important to his development. Greg has had over 100 solo exhibitions, so we also discuss staying motivated over a 50-year career. You can read more about Greg’s work in my book The Complete Guide to Low-Fire Glazes for Potters and Sculptors. A big thank you to him for writing about his process and for freely sharing his research. The book is now available where fine books are sold.   My annual holiday sale is now live with over fifty new pots.
