The Slip Cast

Raina Lee joins us this week from her treehouse in Los Angeles. With a bonus bird soundtrack, this ceramic artist tells us about how she began her practice, what she's currently working on, and (not) needing to make every functional object out of clay.  Extra bonus, we also discuss where art meets design, mixed media musings, why we love school, and clay books!

A conversation with Nina Else (Clare's Aunt!) an artist based in Portola Valley, California who mostly focuses on large scale sculptural work. Since the late 1980s, she has been hand-building one of a kind pieces that stand their ground. With a background in painting, Nina also uses a lot of color and pattern for her surface design along with unconventional ways of decorating and assembling her final pieces. The next time you’re walking in a San Francisco forest, you may just meet a Nina Else original.

This week we spoke with Dina Nur Satti, the creator behind @nur_ceramics.  In this episode, we explore how artists bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual world and their significant role in community. We also discuss the importance of intention and ritual in Dina's practice and how we can all tune into our own creativity.

Ok clay queens, here’s the spooky. In this episode we discuss the realities and potential dangers of silicosis (breathing clay) and healthy studio habits. We also talk about geophagia (eating clay) and the theories surrounding this practice which has existed throughout human evolution.
