Art Pro Podcast with… me, Carole Epp
I wouldn’t really classify myself as a PRO at anything. I’m stumbling through my life and career trying to figure things out as I go so I find it interesting when others ask to interview me as though I had some type of a system sorted out or special behind the scenes knowledge. The more I know, the more I realize how little I actually know about all things art and career related. But heck I love listening to others talk about the ins and outs of their careers so maybe you’ll like to have a listen to me talk about mine : )
Huge thanks to Jessica Watchorn for the interview it was super fun!

respond to materials and form in the production of the work. I use
human beings, flora and fauna because it is a direct way to illustrate
emotions. I use clay because it is a direct way to work with form,
volume and surface.”

“Comprised of tableware, vessels, and wheel-thrown

produced from my throwing technique. My ceramics are influenced by the
Arts and Crafts movement to make simply designed hand-made objects with
minimal decoration. This influence has brought me to a place in my work
where I intently focus my making on form and surface. Form and surface
are the most important elements of my work because they are the
greatest expression of my skill as a potter. With form and surface I
want to draw attention to the liveliness of wheel-thrown ceramics. It
is important that the decorative elements are unmistakably left by the
hand. Ultimately, I want my ceramic work to embody the personable
qualities I possess: proud… strong… thoughtful… ”
