495: Brad Schwieger on using subtractive methods to find form

Today on the show I talk with Brad Schwieger. He has recently retired from Ohio University, where he helped guide the ceramic program for over thirty years. In our interview we talk about creating a rigorous learning environment, using subtractive methods to find form, and transitioning to full time studio work in retirement. In the interview we also talk about the design of his studio, which you can find out more about in the December 2022 Studio Visit in Ceramics Monthly at ceramicartsnetwork.org.   As we head into the new year, we are having a comment drive.
