348: Graham Taylor on heritage pottery and experimental archeology

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Graham Taylor. Taylor’s historical ceramic
reproductions are featured in cultural institutions forming a
gateway for viewers to understand the methods, techniques, and
lives of past civilizations. In our interview we talk about his
training in the Cardew lineage and how this led him to manage the
Kolonyama pottery in Lesotho for many years, how working with
archeologists has influenced his understanding of historical
ceramics, and the evolution of ceramics from the Neolithic to the
Roman era in the United Kingdom. To find out more visit
