283: David Peters on working with Montana’s raw ceramic materials

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with David Peters. While studying at Utah State
University, David discovered a passion for using “wild” ceramic
materials to make functional pottery. For the past twelve years
he has focused on developing clay and glaze formulas from ceramic
materials dug in the mountains of Central Montana. In our
interview we talk about the geology of Montana, how to test and
adapt raw materials for studio use, and sorting through criticism
when starting a new body of work. For more information visit
