Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I talk with NYC based ceramic artist Dustin Yager. Through his Ceramics and Theory brand Dustin Yager creates porcelain pottery decorated with humorous compositions of text and decals over gestural underglaze painting. In our interview we talk about his tongue in cheek approach to ceramics, the genesis of his sculptural work, and finding community in NYC. To see examples of his work, visit www.ceramicsandtheory.com or www.dustinyager.com.

At the Bray, our Bailey Gas Kilns are the preferred choice among artists who create large work because they are easy to fire and very reliable. If you want to go big, go Bailey. For more information visit www.baileypottery.com.

 

For the past 100 years, AMACO Brent has been creating ceramic supplies for our community ranging from underglazes to electric kilns, and they have no plans of slowing down. www.amaco.com
