533: Michelle Im on the versatility of tin glaze

Written By Ben Carter

Michelle Im uses low-fire tin glaze to make both vibrant patterned pottery and figurative sculpture. In our interview we talk about her approach and technique for majolica, developing her RatxChicks brand, and her portrayal of familial identity in her sculptural work. You can read more about Michelle in my book The Complete Guide to Low-Fire Glazes for Potters and Sculptors or visit www.ratxchicks.club.
