Susan Folwell: Santa Clara Pueblo Potter - Epi. 117, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had the award-winning Santa Clara potter Susan Folwell on the
podcast today. She followed up a podcast that I recorded with her
husband, Davison Keonig, the director of the Couse-Sharp Historic
Site in Taos, NM. I loved this interview because I got to hear
Susan's backstory in great and entertaining detail. Susan's mom,
the famous contemporary potter Jody Folwell an important figure
pueblo pottery. Jody Folwell was the ceramist who popularized
asymmetrical pottery and inserting social commentary onto her
pottery in the 20th century. Susan is one of the great pueblo
potters in her own right plotting her trajectory of having a
famous mother potter and the fact she really didn't want to go
into pottery at all (she really wanted to do photography) and how
all of that led up to what she's working on now. We discussed her
recent and future exhibitions and how she's continued to be a
figurehead in the pueblo potter community through all of the
turmoil in 2020. This is a wonderful podcast and Susan was very
delightful to speak with. Sit back and relax, and enjoy this
episode of the Art Dealer Diaries Podcast with Susan
Folwell.
