Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Frank James Fisher. His work in advertising as a graphic designer has influenced his use of text and printing in his ceramics work. In our interview we talk about using UV plates for printing on ceramics, developing press molds for ultra-thin slab work, and the value of labor in pricing. To find out more about Frank visit www.frankjamesfisher.com.   We are excited to be celebrating the 2nd birthday of the Brickyard Podcast Network with an online auction and fundraiser. Sixteen artists have donated work to help us raise money to support the network. If you are a fan of our podcasts don’t miss this chance to buy work from Sarah Pike, Roberto Lugo, Adrienne Eliades, Michael Kline, and many others. Bidding will start on the network’s birthday August 16th and ends August 19th.  To find out more visit us at givergy.us/TheBrayBrickbyBrick.   Today’s episode is brought to you by the following sponsors:   For the past 100 years, AMACO Brent has been creating ceramic supplies for our community ranging from underglazes to electric kilns, and they have no plans of slowing down. www.amaco.com   The Bray is actively committed to promoting, celebrating, and sustaining the ceramic arts through its residency program, education center, and gallery. www.archiebray.org   The Rosenfield Collection of Functional Ceramic Art is an on-line source for research and inspiration, featuring images of thousands of objects made by over 900 artists. www.Rosenfieldcollection.com.
