315: Sam Harvey on the fundamentals of running a successful gallery

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Sam Harvey. He came to Colorado’s Roaring Fork
Valley to take a workshop at Anderson Ranch in the mid 1990’s,
which began a long relationship that continues to this day
including time as a studio coordinator, a board member, and an
instructor. His studio practice includes pinched vessels that are
decorated with geometric shapes and works on paper. In addition
to his studio practice he has been a gallery director for more
than a decade and has been instrumental in promoting ceramics in
the Aspen, CO area. In our interview we talk about his
relationship with Betty Woodman, surviving in the competitive
Aspen art market, and what artists should focus on in order to
have a successful career in ceramics. For information on Sam
