    384: Doug Casebeer on how curiosity sustains an art practice - Tales of a Red Clay Rambler: A pottery and ceramic art podcast

    Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Doug Casebeer. Throughout his long career in ceramics Doug has focused on utilitarian pottery, while also teaching and serving as a ceramic consultant for the United Nations. For 34 years he served in a variety of roles at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado, including Associate Director and Artistic Director for Ceramics. In our interview we talk about establishing a ceramic factory in Jamaica in the early 1980’s, his time at the Anderson Ranch Art Center, and why it’s important for artists to stay curious in their art practice. Doug splits time between his home in Carbondale, CO and being a teaching Artist in Residence at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK. To see examples of his work visit www.dougcasebeer.com or follow him on Instagram at @dougcasebeer. On today’s AMACO Community Corkboard we have the Cannon River Clay Tour, happening August 21-22nd. The tour is excited to be in-person this year. This free, self-guided tour features eighteen clay artists in the Northfield, MN area, just 40 miles south of Minneapolis.

  • The Potters Cast Picking up where the art degree ends My name is Paul Blais. I am the founder and host of The Potters Cast. I am what I call a functional hobbyist. In other words, I am a potter that makes and sells functional pottery, but more as a hobby than as my main source of income. My main goal with The Potters Cast is to serve the community of ceramic artists and potters around the world by bringing interviews of other ceramicists straight to you. My hope is that, while listening to the shows, you will be challenged, encouraged, and inspired for your own creative endeavors.
