296: Ann Shaner on teaching in public schools, the early days of the Archie Bray Foundation, and her marriage to David Shaner

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have
an interview with Ann Shaner. Along with her husband David
Shaner, she was instrumental in the success of the Archie Bray
Foundation during the late 1960’s. In our interview we talk about
teaching 35 years in the public schools, her time at the
Archie Bray Foundation, and moving to Big Fork, MT, where she and
David raised their four kids. To read more about Ann’s experience
check out the “Wives” article she and Gertrude Ferguson wrote in
Vol. 20 No. 1 of The Studio Potter journal www.studiopotter.org.
