FANMAIL:  I know it was probably 10 or 11 years ago in  Mendocino but it made me feel old so I was just being vague.  Anyway, still, when I joined crafthaus there was a photo of one of your pieces up in the sidebar and every time I saw it, I laughed because I remembered our class.  I still remember telling you I was Hungarian and that you had some of that in your family history too.  

I treasure the cup I have that you made and still love your style.  I'm working with metal clay for the last 10 years in between some ceramic sculpture.  Your class was one of my best ceramic classes taken and gave me many things to think about - especially "color and line".  If I had a list of artists that influenced me, you would be in the top ten of that list, even though I work in silver now.  I sometimes check the internet for photos of your current work.  I hope you are doing well.

Interviewing NCECA 2013 Emerging Artist Linda Swanson

NCECA 2013 Emerging Artist Linda Swanson makes us think about ceramic materials in a new and dynamic way.  Her installation, site specific, fired and unfired work all has an emphasis on time, material and transformation.  Linda generously shared her time and thoughts with me about her current studio practice and the path that has led her there.  I hope you enjoy this interview with Linda Swanson.  You can see more of her work at: …See More

HUNGER
