314: Louise Deroualle on using abstraction to convey emotion




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

Summary: Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Louise Deroualle. After an early interest in functional work, Louise has shifted to landscape-oriented wall work and sculptures that reference seed pods. The work is unified by a lichen-like glaze technique that involves putting slips over the top of fluid glazes. In our interview we talk about growing up in San Paulo, Brazil, turning towards abstraction to convey emotion, and managing interns in a bustling workshop setting.
