524: Celia Feldberg on drawing on clay

Written By Ben Carter

Celia Feldberg decorates her pots with vibrant sgraffito drawings of animals in human situations. With a light-hearted touch she talks about relationship dynamics and highlights the small beauty in every day life. In our interview we talk about refining her drawing style on clay, depicting love in all its forms, and being a resident artist at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia. www.celiafeldberg.com Stream this episode in your browser.

We also discuss the research she conducted for my book The Complete Guide to Low-Fire Glazes for Potters and Sculptors. She was my assistant and a valuable sounding board as I was writing the book. It was wonderful to share the success and struggle of the project with such a talented artist.
