Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Deb Schwartzkopf. She recently released a best-selling book on ceramics titled Creative Pottery. In our interview we talk about writing the book, using templates to help construct asymmetrical shapes, and using bisque molds to make multi-part ceramics forms. We also discuss how she shifted to teaching online as her home city of Seattle shut down due to COVID and how she has implemented diversity, equity, and inclusion training into her small business. To find out more about the book and see examples of her work visit www.ratcitystudios.com.   On today’s Amaco Community Corkboard we have the POT LA Go Fund Me campaign. POT is a full-service studio owned and operated by artists of color with a mission to create a “space that felt accessible and empowering for those that felt marginalized in ceramic spaces.” Due to the pandemic POT needs your help while transitioning to online programming. Help them in reaching their Go Fund Me goal to keep this important space going! To support them directly visit www.gofundme.com/f/help-pot.

356: Deb Schwartzkopf on her book Creative Pottery

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler I talk with Deb Schwartzkopf. For more than a decade she lived from coast to coast, studying ceramics and taking part in artist-in-residence programs. Deb’s circuitous path to setting up her studio represents a trend many itinerant potters of her generation experience. Upon returning home to Seattle, WA she bought a home and built Rat City Studios, named after the neighborhood in which she lives. In our interview we talk about utilizing criticism from a teacher to improve your work, returning to a challenging form for aesthetic resolution, and cultivating a garden and other hobbies that feed one’s studio practice. To find out more about her work please visit www.ratcitystudios.com.
