223: John Gill on teaching

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have the first
of two interviews with John Gill. John is one of the truly unique
thinkers and educators in American ceramics. Gill started
teaching at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred in
the mid 1980’s and has helped shape a generation of ceramic
artists pushing the boundaries of the field. He is a member of
the International Academy of Ceramics and in 2014 became a Fellow
of the American Crafts Council. His work is represented in the
collections of the Brooklyn Museum, New York; the Victoria and
Albert Museum, London; Newark Museum, New Jersey and the Los
Angeles County Museum of Art, California. In our interview we
talk about his teaching philosophy, developing a personal sense
of touch and becoming a “visual journalist”. To see examples of
his work, visit www.harveymeadows.com.
