374: Canada Week: Martina Lantin on her passion for terracotta

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Martina Lantin. Over the past twenty years she has
explored many facets of terracotta pottery, drawing from Italian
Renaissance maiolica and Persian slipware. In our interview we
talk about her passion for terracotta, developing patterns under
and over glazes, and stewarding the acclaimed ceramics program at
the Alberta University of the Arts in Calgary, where she has been
teaching since 2014. To see examples of her work visit

This interview is part of Canada Week, highlighting Canadian
makers in the run up to the Ceramic Congress. Canada is the host
country for this international online conference, which is
happening May 27th- 31st. You can register for the five-day
conference for only $10 at

this online gathering, so I hope to see you there.
