398: Fall Fund Drive: Gay Smith on developing surfaces for soda-fired porcelain

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have
an interview with Gay Smith. Her thrown and altered porcelain
vessels range from everyday wares to elaborate candelabras and
multipart stacked forms. In our interview we talk about
articulating silhouettes through faceting, once firing porcelain
in a soda kiln, and what she learned from being a community
potter in an organized commune early in her career. To see
examples of her work visit www.gertrudegrahamsmith.com.
