358. Larissa Warren on the Wild Women and Wild Clay of Tamborine Mountain

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Larissa Warren. She is based in Tamborine Mountain
in southeast Queensland, Australia where she uses the Nerikomi
process to make ceramic vessels that reference geological strata.
In addition to her ceramic practice, she has been researching the
raw clays that are native to her surrounding area and the potters
that have used them dating back to the 1940’s including the
Morris sisters, Doris Aagaard, and Frances Carnegie. In our
interview we talk about searching for raw clays, the history of
past generations of Queensland potters, and the impact these
women had on their rural mountain community. To find out more

Women Wild Clay” in the most recent edition of the Journal of
Australian Ceramics.
