318: Kelly Schnorr on effective teaching methods for high school students

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Kelly Schnorr. She is an artist and educator based
in the San Diego area where she teaches ceramics at Coronado High
School. We talk about time management, effective teaching methods
for high school age students, and how to design a studio that can
cycle through over one hundred and fifty students each day. In
addition to her teaching Kelly makes ceramic sculpture about the
consumption and disposability built into modern capitalist
societies. You can see examples of her work at

On today’s AMACO Community Corkboard with have the Greenwich
House Pottery Residency and fellowship. Greenwich House Pottery
is a nonprofit ceramic arts center in the heart of New York City
that has been supporting and encouraging a diverse range of
ceramic art, and the emerging and underrepresented artists who
make it for over 116 years. GHP’s Residency and Fellowship
Program has existed since at least the early 1960s when Jane
Hartsook invited Peter Voulkos to teach and work in the Pottery,
but was relaunched in its current iteration in 2015, when Ghada
Amer was invited to be a long-term resident. Applications are due
April 1. For more information
