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

From her studio in Fargo, ND Catie Miller makes terracotta forms decorated with illustrations of loons, minnows, and flowers from the Midwest region. In our interview we talk about how her drawing style evolved into screen printing, how parenting reshaped her studio time, and how she prepares for large-scale sales like the St. Croix Valley Tour. Catie sells most of her work through the tour and her online shop, which structure her work cycle throughout the year. www.catie-miller.com   Have you checked out the Tales from the Vault podcast feed?

Today we dive into the archive for a 2013 panel with Josh Copus, Alex Matisse, and Lindsay Rogers. Our discussion centers around the crossover between farm-to-table dining and the ceramic world. In the interview we talk about the basics of farm-to-table, the search for authenticity, and designing site specific ware for a restaurant setting.
