396: Susan Feagin on collage in clay

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Susan Feagin. Her hand-built work is made from slabs of clay that are decorated with slip transfer, sgraffito, and other patterning methods. In our interview we talk about how she utilizes collage methods in clay, developing structure within active surface designs, and her job as clay coordinator at the Penland School of Craft.
