240: New Zealand Week: Nicole Kolig on harvesting local ceramic materials for sculpture

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Nicole Kolig. Nicole's studio and farm are nestled into the side of an extinct cinder cone volcano that rises above the surrounding Otago Peninsula outside of Dunedin, NZ. In our interview we talk about harvesting local ceramic materials for sculpture, the history of the Ceramic Association of New Zealand, and her time working with indigenous artists in the Kimberly region of Australia in the early 1970's. This interview is part of a New Zealand series taped in April and May of 2018. I want to send a special thank you to the Ceramics Association of New Zealand for their support in making the series.
