Listen now
Description
Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Kaitlyn Brennan. Based in Merrickville, ON, she makes a line of terracotta pottery decorated with vibrant floral patterns and pop imagery. In our interview we talk about avenues for Canadians to learn ceramics, wholesaling to Canada-made shops, and her love of roller derby. In addition to her studio practice, she is the director of the Gloucester Pottery School, which offers ceramic classes in the Ottawa area. To see examples of her work visit www.kaitlynbrennan.com.   This interview is part of Canada Week, highlighting Canadian makers in the run up to the Ceramic Congress. Canada is the host country for this international online conference, which is happening May 27th- 31st. You can register for the five-day conference for only $10 at www.ceramic.school/the-ceramics-congress. I’ll be interviewing Greg Payce and Katrina Chaytor on the main stage on Thursday May 27th at 7pm EST. I’d love to have podcast fans in attendance for this online gathering, so I hope to see you there.   Hey Red Clay Rambler fans, it’s May, which means we are celebrating the 9th birthday of the podcast.
