356: Deb Schwartzkopf on her book Creative Pottery

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Deb Schwartzkopf. She recently released a
best-selling book on ceramics titled Creative Pottery. In our
interview we talk about writing the book, using templates to help
construct asymmetrical shapes, and using bisque molds to make
multi-part ceramics forms. We also discuss how she shifted to
teaching online as her home city of Seattle shut down due to
COVID and how she has implemented diversity, equity, and
inclusion training into her small business. To find out more
about the book and see examples of her work visit

On today’s Amaco Community Corkboard we have the POT LA Go Fund
Me campaign. POT is a full-service studio owned and operated
by artists of color with a mission to create a “space that
felt accessible and empowering for those that felt marginalized
in ceramic spaces.” Due to the pandemic POT needs your help while
transitioning to online programming. Help them in reaching their
Go Fund Me goal to keep this important space going! To support
them directly visit www.gofundme.com/f/help-pot.
