372: Adrienne Eliades on using a die cutter for pattern making

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Adrienne Eliades. From her Vancouver, Washington
studio she makes highly decorated functional pots that draw from
mid-century modern patterns and aesthetics. In our interview we
talk about developing confidence as a teacher, using die-cut
stencils, and her role as program coordinator for Idyllwild’s Hot
Clay summer program. For more information visit
