241: New Zealand Week: Richard Stratton on the importance of technical research on aesthetic development

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Richard Stratton. He uses late 19th century
industrial ceramic techniques to make sculptural vessels that are
steeped in the aesthetics of modernist architecture. In our
interview we talk about how mud larking on the banks of the
Thames reignited his interest in English industrial ceramics, the
importance of research on aesthetic development, and selling
ceramics in the NZ fine art market. For more information on
Richard visit www.richard-stratton-ceramics.nz. This interview is
part of a New Zealand series taped in April and May of 2018. I
want to send a special thank you to the Ceramics Association of
New Zealand for their support in making the series. To join the
association, or to subscribe to their journal Ceramics New
Zealand, visit www.ceramicsnz.org.
