245: Amy Sanders on using patinas over Terra Siggilata to create rich low fire surfaces

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Amy Sanders. Her hand-built pottery is decorated with stamped patterns and layers of terra sigillata that reference her love of vintage clothing and fabric. In our interview we talk about developing low fire surfaces, using the 80% rule in the studio and the value of an artist’s group. Amy is a member of Thrown Together, a group of four artists who exhibit together and provide feedback on each other’s work. For more information on Amy’s work visit www.amysanderspottery.com. For more information on Thrown Together visit www.throwntogetherpotters.com. This episode was taped as part of the Red Handed Symposium at the Clay Lady Campus in Nashville, TN.
