410: Lynn Duryea on the 30th Anniversary of the Watershed Workshop for people with HIV/AIDS

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I talk with
Lynn Duryea. Her minimalist sculptures are made from bent clay
slabs, and are surfaced with layers of sprayed glaze giving them
the appearance of aged metal. In our interview we talk about how
the seaside architecture of her childhood hometown influences her
ceramics, her role as a founding trustee of the Watershed Center
for the Ceramic Arts, and the workshop for people living with
HIV/Aids that she cofacilitated for thirteen years. She recently
partnered with Franklin Brooks to publish a book on the
importance of the workshop, chronicling its impact on
participants and the community thirty years after its first
session. For more information visit www.lynnduryea.com.
