503: Lauren Sandler on the unseen narratives of material culture

Today on the show I talk with artist and educator Lauren Sandler.
In her current body of work she drapes stacked vessels with
beads, beans, and other objects to tell broader economic and
cultural narratives. In our interview we talk about her
anthropological approach to materials, adornment through
accumulation, and mentoring students at the Tyler School of Art
in Philadelphia, PA, where she is an assistant professor. For

I’m excited to have a live taping of the show at this year’s
NCECA conference. Thursday March 21st at 2:30pm Lisa Giuliani and
Brian Kakas will join me to talk about the Changing landscape of
ceramic education. Directly following at 4:00pm guest Red Clay
Rambler host Malene Barnett will record Clay Roots:
Exploring Ceramics Across the Black Diaspora - From Africa to the
Caribbean and the Americas.
