523: Christy Culp on art education in high schools

Christy Culp’s terra cotta pots are decorated with blue berries,
carrots, and other motifs that come from her western Pennsylvania
farm. In our interview we talk about her decades long career as a
high school ceramics teacher, building a dream studio out of a
late 1800’s barn that was on the farm, and how her yoga practice
supports her ceramic practice.


 


In our interview we also talk about Christy’s work in my book The
Complete Guide to Low-Fire Glazes for Potters and Sculptors. The
book was officially released this week and is now available where
fine books are sold.
