Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Jan Richardson. From 1977 to 2006 she ran Windy Meadows Pottery specializing in collectible ceramic homes. The business quickly grew into a economic force employing 50 local artists while developing a loyal national collector base. In the interview we talk about keeping a production line fresh, upscaling a small business through a distributed labor force, and knowing when to downscale after a boom.
Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Tracy Gamble. After a long career as an actor and then librarian, Gamble now focuses on ceramics full time in her role as studio potter for the American Art Clay Company. When not working in her Plainville, IN studio she teaches workshops on glazing techniques at art centers and conferences. In the interview we talk about the value of repetition in acting, working for Amaco, and how to work a trade show without losing your mind.
Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Jerilyn Virden and Lindsay Rogers. Virden makes dynamic sculptural vessels by bending slabs into shapes that look as if they have been eroded from canyon walls. Rogers uses local Appalachian clays to create functional tableware with sharply contrasting white and black areas of decoration. In the interview we talk about developing display methods and the Arrowmont Pentaculum.
Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Sarah Rachel Brown. She is a jeweler and podcast host of the show Perceived Value.
