Show Notes

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Walter Ostrom. Originally recorded in the summer of 2015 this interview is being rebroadcast in celebration of Clay Week. I made a playlist featuring five archival releases that relate to the themes of Clay Week. This episode fits with Teaching Tuesday. Through his almost forty-year teaching career at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design he upheld functional ceramics as a conceptually rich medium that deserved equal footing in academia. One of the early adopters of earthenware Maiolica pottery in North America, Walter has been a major influence on generations of ceramic artists. To hear the rest of the themed episodes stream them from our website at www.talesofaredclayrambler.com/resources/clay-week-2020-play-list.

On today's Amaco Community Corkboard we have Clay Week Open Studio, an international outreach event that celebrates clay, community, and creativity. Join us this weekend October 9-11, 2020 for virtual demonstrations, lectures, and online sales that are happening across the U.S. To find out more about Open Studio visit www.clayweek.org/openstudio.
