384: Doug Casebeer on how curiosity sustains an art practice

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have
an interview with Doug Casebeer. Throughout his long career in
ceramics Doug has focused on utilitarian pottery, while also
teaching and serving as a ceramic consultant for the United
Nations. For 34 years he served in a variety of roles at the
Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado,
including Associate Director and Artistic Director for Ceramics.
In our interview we talk about establishing a ceramic factory in
Jamaica in the early 1980’s, his time at the Anderson Ranch Art
Center, and why it’s important for artists to stay curious in
their art practice. Doug splits time between his home in
Carbondale, CO and being a teaching Artist in Residence at the
University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK. To see examples of his work

Clay Tour, happening August 21-22nd. The tour is excited to be
