355: Kate Roberts on the ephemeral nature of her sculpture

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Kate Roberts. Roberts often uses unfired clay to create sculptures of topiaries, gates, and landscapes that feel both ancient and temporary, like they might slip out of existence right before your eyes. In our interview we talk about the influence of literature on her work and the risks and rewards of building site-specific installations. Kate has an exhibition titled After Image on display now until February 5th at the Jane Hartsook Gallery in New York City. For more information visit www.greenwichhouse.org or www.katerobertsceramics.com.   On today’s Amaco Community Corkboard we have a series of online ceramic workshops with Clay Share. This network for online ceramic learning features classes, community forums, and other resources to help give your studio practice a boost. The next workshop features Adam Field, who will be teaching about Cultivating Inspirations in Clay over the next two weekends, January 16th and 23rd, 2021.
