351: Fall Fund Drive: The Studio Potter goes digital as it approaches fifty years of storytelling

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview about the Studio Potter with Jill Foote-Hutton and
Jessica Detweiler. Established in 1972 the Studio Potter has been
active in documenting the growth of American studio ceramics. In
our interview we discuss the move into a digital format for the
journal and the opportunities this presents for the organization.
We also discuss equity in organizations, nonprofit funding
options, and the Grants for Apprenticeship program. For more
information visit www.studiopotter.org.


On today’s Amaco Community Corkboard we have the POT LA New
Year’s Day Sale. 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 LA
needs your help while transitioning to online programming. On
January 1st leaders in the ceramic arts will be selling work and
donating 100% of the proceeds to the organization under the
hashtag #SupportPOTLA. Please help us in reaching the goal of
raising $5,000 to keep this important space going! You can follow
them on Instagram at @pot_la and support them directly at
www.Patreon.com/POTLA.


Hey Red Clay Rambler fans, it’s been a wild year, and I want to
thank you for spending your time with me, listening to
world-class artists speak about their lives and creativity. It’s
an honor to do this work, and I appreciate you choosing to listen
week in and week out. As we wrap up 2020, I need your help
funding future episodes. I’m not on a major network like NPR or
Gimlet. I am a one-man operation, and I depend on the support of
my listeners to keep the show going. I know this year has been
tough for many folks, so for our Fall Fund Drive I’m keeping my
request simple. I ask that if you are able, you commit four
dollars a month to the show. That’s only a dollar an episode to
keep you inspired and connected to the greater ceramic community.
I’ve got big plans for 2021 and your support now can help make
those plans a reality.
