257: Josh Deweese on the history of wood firing in Montana

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have a lecture
from Josh Deweese on the history of wood firing in Montana.
During his talk he recounts stories of historic Montana kilns and
the influential artists who fired them. The lecture was given as
the keynote speech at the Cultural Confluence Wood Fire
Symposium, held in Helena, MT in October 2018. Josh was the
Resident Director of the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic
Arts from 1992-2006 and is now an Associate Professor of Art at
Montana State University. For more information visit
