269: Linda Christianson on modern pyromantics

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have Linda
Christianson’s closing lecture from the Cultural Confluence Wood
Fire Symposium, held in Helena, MT in October 2018. She talks
about the human preoccupation with fire and how that is being
replaced by the back lit screens of modern technology. She also
addresses problems that face the field of wood firing including
gender inequity and resource depletion. To find out more about
Linda visit www.christiansonpottery.com.


 


Hey Red Clay Rambler fans, I want to take a minute to talk to you
about our sustaining membership program. As we head into 2019, I
want to appeal to you directly to help us meet our new goal of
having 120 patrons by April 1st. I’m asking you to make a $5
pledge today at patreon.com/redclayrambler. That’s only $1.25 per
episode to help me document the field of ceramics. This new goal
will help me record interviews with Canadian artists on my
upcoming trip in April. If you prefer you can make a one-time
donation through the Pay Pal portal at
www.talesofaredclayrambler.com. If you have been thinking about
getting involved don’t wait any longer. Every dollar helps, and
no donation is too small. Thanks again for supporting the
podcast!
