452: Kurt Anderson on the humor in his art and Rebecca Harvey on the Archie Bray residency

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Kurt Anderson. His ceramics and paintings feature
compositions of robots, animals, and human hybrids that are
visually playful and filled with humor. In our interview we talk
about color dynamics and trusting your aesthetic voice. To see
examples of his work, visit @kurtandersonpottery on Instagram. To
start the episode I talk with Rebecca Harvey, the new director of
the Archie Bray Foundation, about the residency program at the
Bray. The deadline for this year’s residency applications is
February 15th. To find out more visit
