Australia Week: Kate Dunn and Fiona Fell on the changing landscape of Australian art education

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with ceramic artists Kate Dunn and Fiona Fell. Both are educators and makers utilizing digital technologies in the creation of their artwork. In the interview we talk about changes in the educational systems in Australia, collaboration as a method for making ceramics, and the ontology of objects.

Kate Dunn is a lecturer at University of New South Wales Art & Design specializing in practiced-based research that investigates experimental digital fabrication. For more information on Kate please visit her UNSW research page.
