240: New Zealand Week: Nicole Kolig on harvesting local ceramic materials for sculpture

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Nicole Kolig. Nicole’s studio and farm are nestled
into the side of an extinct cinder cone volcano that rises above
the surrounding Otago Peninsula outside of Dunedin, NZ. In our
interview we talk about harvesting local ceramic materials for
sculpture, the history of the Ceramic Association of New Zealand,
and her time working with indigenous artists in the Kimberly
region of Australia in the early 1970’s. 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.
