Description
Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Amy Smith. Her porcelain pots are decorated with female nudes delicately drawn with slip inlay. The translucent glazes pull the cobalt out of the inlay accentuating the movement of hair, hips and other aspects of the pose. In our interview we talk about the emotive power of the drawn figure and how running and movement influence her work. To see examples, visit www.amysmithporcelain.com.
