355: Kate Roberts on the ephemeral nature of her sculpture

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Kate Roberts. Roberts often uses unfired clay to
create sculptures of topiaries, gates, and landscapes that feel
both ancient and temporary, like they might slip out of existence
right before your eyes. In our interview we talk about the
influence of literature on her work and the risks and rewards of
building site-specific installations. Kate has an exhibition
titled After Image on display now until February 5th at the Jane
Hartsook Gallery in New York City. For more information visit

On today’s Amaco Community Corkboard we have a series of online
ceramic workshops with Clay Share. This network for online
ceramic learning features classes, community forums, and other
resources to help give your studio practice a boost. The next
workshop features Adam Field, who will be teaching about
Cultivating Inspirations in Clay over the next two weekends,
January 16th and 23rd, 2021. To sign up for this workshop or to
