232: Cynthia Bringle on educating your audience about the value of handmade

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Cynthia Bringle. Since moving to Penland, NC in
1970 she has become a pillar of the art community, influencing
many generations of artists and helping the Penland School of
Craft to become a mecca for ceramics. In our interview we talk
about educating your audience on the value of handmade, the
evolution of studio pottery since the 1960’s and the growth of
the Penland School. To see examples of her work, visit
