259: George McCauley on low temperature wood firing

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have a lecture
from George McCauley. Over his 50-year career he has made
pottery, mixed media sculpture, and metal work, as well as being
a cowboy, carpenter and movie producer. His self-described
"casual" approach to art making highlights the emotive quality of
gestural mark making and loose brushwork. In this lecture he
talks about his experience with low fire wood firing. For more
information on George visit www.georgeshouseofclay.com. The
lecture was given at the Cultural Confluence Wood Fire Symposium,
held in Helena, MT in October 2018.


 


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
