250: Ireland Week: Isobel Egan on building with paper-thin porcelain slabs

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Isobel Egan. Her geometric forms are constructed
from porcelain slabs that appear both fragile and immense. Her
recent work spans multiple feet in diameter and is made by
combining modular box forms that are arranged in patterns that
reference cityscapes and architecture. In the interview we talk
about her porcelain hand building process, pricing work that is
labor intensive, and how showing at large art fairs, like Ceramic
Art London, has helped propel her career. For more information
visit www.isobeleganceramics.com. This interview was taped at the
2018 Ceramics Ireland International Festival in Thomastown,
Kilkenny.
