495: Brad Schwieger on using subtractive methods to find form

Today on the show I talk with Brad Schwieger. He has recently
retired from Ohio University, where he helped guide the ceramic
program for over thirty years. In our interview we talk about
creating a rigorous learning environment, using subtractive
methods to find form, and transitioning to full time studio work
in retirement. In the interview we also talk about the design of
his studio, which you can find out more about in the December
2022 Studio Visit in Ceramics Monthly at ceramicartsnetwork.org.
