425: 10 YR Fund Drive: Michael Sherrill on his flora-inspired sculptures

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I talk with
Michael Sherrill, who creates mixed media sculptures that draw
from the flora of Western North Carolina. In our interview we
talk about his early days as a salt firing potter, developing new
techniques for sculpture, and the creation of his Mud Tools
brand. To find out more visit www.michaelsherrill.com or
