228: Australia Week: Owen Rye on the shifting landscape of Australian ceramic education

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Owen Rye. An elder statesman of the Australian
ceramic community, Owen has made significant contributions
through his research into wood firing and his time teaching at
Monash University. Before starting his studio practice he spent
ten years documenting the ceramic practices of Pakistani potters
laying a foundation for a PHD focused on developing versatile
porcelain bodies. In the interview we talk about his time in
Pakistan, the need for ceramic history in today’s universities
and the development of the woodfire community in Australia. You
can see examples of Owen’s work and read his writings at
