537: PJ Anderson on smoke firing sculpture

PJ Anderson’s figurative sculptures and vessels have rich patinas
created through multi-day smoke firings. In our interview we talk
about her making process, the influence of sci-fi futurism, and
how she teaches students to understand the difference between
cultural transmission and appropriation. We also discuss her work
in community engagement for the National Centre for Truth and
Reconciliation, and how maintaining archives address the
realities of the past. You can read more about PJ in my book The
Complete Guide to Low-Fire Glazes for Potters and Sculptors or
