    507: Malene Barnett on blending interior design and studio art

    Today on the show I talk with Malene Barnett. Her multimedia career spans design, studio art, and activism focusing on the influence and aesthetics of the black diaspora. In our interview we talk about designing textiles and interiors, taking a sabbatical to dive deep into ceramics, and founding the Black Artists + Designers Guild, a collective aimed at building equitable and inclusive creative culture. For more visit www.malenebarnett.com. Next week on the show we will broadcast a panel discussion that Malene moderated at this year’s NCECA conference.

    505: Cammie Staros on the power of precarity in sculpture
    Mar 29 2024

    Today on the show I talk with sculptor Cammie Staros. From her studio in L.A. she blends Helenic aesthetics with modernism in her ceramic, neon, and stone work. Her series of black figure terracotta vessels move and bend like a wavy mirage from ancient Athens captured in the present moment. In our interview we talk about the influence of classical Greek ceramics, her love of precarity, and her series of submerged vessels. To see examples of her work visit www.cammiestaros.com.

    Thanks to everyone that came out to our NCECA live tapings. I had a great time meeting listeners and look forward to airing those episodes towards the end of April.

Been Listening for Years!

Ben Carter takes us on a worldwide journey interviewing artists, designers, and culture makers. Ben, an accomplished potter and artist in his own right, interviews from the perspective of the maker. Nearly 400 episodes later, Ben is still going strong. His interviews are insightful and well researched. We listen alongside Ben as he navigates each interview with poise and intrigue.

If anyone is or aspires to be a: maker, artisan, craftsperson, etc. or curious about that world, I would highly suggest this podcast. If you are a ceramic artist, this is a must listen.

Listen Deeply

Sana is full of wisdom and her words will change your perspective on life, choices, and our role as artists. I listened to this 4 days ago and it's still in my head.

Varied and engaging conversations with ceramic artists and 'ceramic adjacent' folks

I love Ben Carter's thoughtful and informed approach to his interviews. It's clear to me that his own curiosity drives his conversations and I find this curiosity to be contagious.

I began listening in earnest 4 years ago and, having worked with clay myself on and off for several decades, I appreciate hearing from artists and others with whom I'm familiar and also those that are new to me. I trust that there will always be nuggets (or big chunks!) that will inspire me or be thought provoking, will drive me to do further research or will spur me to seek these people and/or their art IRL... Thank you!
