468: Rosti Eismont on blending a career in clay and graphic design

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have
an interview with Rosti Eismont. For decades he was an art
director and graphic designer for major magazines, including over
thirty years at Studio Potter. Parallel to his career in print he
worked as a potter and painter from his studio in Richmond, New
Hampshire. In our interview we talk about his childhood as a
refugee, his approach to design, and the emotional impact of
selling a lifetime collection of art. To see examples of his work
