271: Brenda Quinn on the blending of architecture and floral elements in her work

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Brenda Quinn. Her vibrant functional pottery
explores the line between hard and soft through the blending of
architectural and floral elements. In the interview we talk about
how a childhood phobia led her to practice mindfulness, methods
for generating pattern, and helping her students understand the
value of handmade goods. To see examples of her work, visit

Hey Red Clay Rambler fans, in the lead up to this year’s NCECA
conference in Minneapolis I want to support a few excellent
exhibitions that you should attend. Roberto Lugo has curated at
show at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN titled More Than That:
Diversity within Diversity. The show brings artists of color
together that work in a multiplicity of genres and forms that
defy cultural expectations. Each member of the show creates work
that is pushing the field of ceramics to engage with the
communities in which artists find themselves. For more
