Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have a panel discussion on Taking an environmental approach to making with Marianne Chénard, Julia Galloway and Ché R. Ochtli. In our interview we talk about practical sustainability and the ways you can lessen your studio's environmental impact. Julia and Ché are members of NCECA's Green Task Force, which has many resources on this topic posted on their website www.ncecagtf.com. Our discussion was recorded live in Cincinnati, OH last week as part of this year's NCECA conference.

I'm happy to announce that I'll be jurying The Clay Center of New Orleans upcoming exhibition "Less is More". This juried exhibition is open to ceramic vessels, sculptures, and wall-mounted works, and celebrates earthenware clay and low-fire surface techniques. Application deadline is April 15th so visit www.nolaclay.org/call-for-entries to apply today.
