350: Fall Fund Drive: Bill Brouillard on our reverence for technology

Tales of a Red Clay Rambler: A pottery and ceramic art podcast

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Bill Brouillard. He came to clay in the 1970’s and has had a variety of positions including being a resident artist at the Penland School and teaching for many decades at the Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA). In our interview we talk about the value of team teaching, which he did with Judith Salomon at CIA for over thirty years, and his most recent body of work relating our faith in technology to a secular religion. To see examples of his work, visit the show notes at www.talesofaredclayrambler.com/episodeguide.

Hey Red Clay Rambler fans, it’s been a wild year, and I want to thank you for spending your time with me, listening to world class artists speak about their lives and creativity. It’s an honor to do this work, and I appreciate you choosing to listen week in and week out. As we wrap up 2020, I need your help funding future episodes. I’m not on a major network like NPR or Gimlet. I am a one-man operation and I depend on the support of my listeners to keep the show going. I know this year has been tough for many folks, so for our Fall Fund Drive I’m keeping my request simple. I ask that if you are able, you commit four dollars a month to the show. That’s only a dollar an episode to keep you inspired and connected to the greater ceramic community. I’ve got big plans for 2021 and your support now can help make those plans a reality.
