545: Dallas Wooten on creating fluid surfaces

Dallas Wooten makes functional ware decorated with water etched and painted surfaces that melt and blend beautifully during his cone six firings. In our interview we talk about developing techniques to create fluid surfaces, and finding work life balance while running an art center. We also talk about the Princeton Pottery Festival, which Dallas has been instrumental in starting. www.wootenclayworks.com   I’m happy to be taking part in the inaugural Princeton Pottery Festival happening May 3 and 4 at the Princeton Day School in Princeton, NJ. I’ll also have new work at this year’s Asparagus Valley Pottery Trail, where I will be a guest of Lucy Fagella April 26th and 27th in Greenfield, MA.   Today’s episode is brought to you by the following sponsors: The Rosenfield Collection of Functional Ceramic Art www.Rosenfieldcollection.com Cornell Studio Supply www.cornellstudiosupply.com
