334: Betty Turbo on digital illustration and using humor to carry a message

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Agnes Barton-Sabo, also known as Betty Turbo. Her
humorous, vivid illustrations meld advertisements for food and
daily necessities with social justice messages and words of
encouragement. In our interview we talk about taking up
papier-mâché sculpture during the pandemic, design tips she
learned while working at Hatch Show Print, and how image making
can support social justice movements. To see examples of her work
visit www.bettyturbo.com. 


 


On today’s Amaco Community Corkboard we have Clay Week Open
Studio, an international outreach event that celebrates clay,
community and creativity. Join us on the weekend of October 9-11,
2020 for a celebration of clay around the world! To keep this
year’s open studio safe for all participants we encourage you to
move your events to an online format. Virtual demonstrations,
lectures, and online sales are just a few ways you can engage
your community through Clay Week Open Studios. To sign up today
visit www.clayweek.org/openstudio.
