181: Vicki Grima and Stephen Creech on ceramic outreach through national open studio events

Written By Ben Carter

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Vicki Grima and Stephen Creech. The focus of our discussion centers around nation-wide open studio events that bring the public into ceramic artist’s studios as a form of outreach and education. The Australian Ceramic Association started their open studio in 2012 and provided the model for which the American version will start this year. October 13-15, 2017 artists across the US are invited to open their studios to their local community as a part of National Clay Week. For more information on how you can join the event visit www.nationalclayweek.org/openstudio.

Vicki Grima is the executive officer of the Australian Ceramics Association and editor of the Journal of Australian Ceramics. For more information about her ceramic work please visit vickigrima.com.au. Stephen Creech is ‎a cofounder of National Clay Week and the Director of Marketing at American Art Clay Company.
