461: Rebecca Hutchinson on paper, clay, and Re-Generation

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Rebecca Hutchinson. Her 2022 installation
Re-Generation at the Everson Museum featured cocoon-like vessels
that were surfaced with drawings of a rare central New York
Orchids done by artist Mallory Wetherell. This work highlights
environmental sustainability and hybridity, two themes that recur
throughout Hutchinson’s career. In our interview we talk about
structural concepts she’s learned from observing animal habitats,
blending paper and clay, as well as her role as a professor at
the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. For more information

I’m happy to announce that I’ll be jurying The Clay Center of New
Orleans upcoming exhibition “Less is More”. This juried
exhibition is open to ceramic vessels, sculptures, and
wall-mounted works, and celebrates earthenware clay and low-fire
surface techniques. Application deadline is April 15th so visit
