441: Dan Finnegan on stretching beyond tradition

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I talk with
Dan Finnegan. He has been making ceramics since the mid-1970’s
and recently had a retrospective drawing from forty years of his
work at the University of Mary Washington. In our interview we
talk about his early training at Winchcombe Pottery in the UK,
the impact of inflation of pottery prices, and Pottery on the
Hill, a ceramic invitational he started in Washington, DC. This
year’s Pottery on the Hill is happening November 11th -13th at
the Hill Center. For more information visit
