Summary: Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Gus Mabelson. In 1991 Gus came to Thomastown to start a throwing course that would provide trained workers for the booming Irish ceramic field. Twenty-seven years later the course continues to shape generations of artists. In the interview we talk about the education principles that he prioritized when setting up the program, generating momentum for craft in a rural location, and hosting Prince Charles for a visit to the school.
