309: Stephanie Kantor on how bathing culture inspires her sculpture

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Stephanie Kantor. In her most recent body of work Stephanie explores myths surrounding water through multiple series of ceramic sculpture and painting. In our interview we talk about the relative values of art-making materials, how experiencing a Turkish hammam sparked her interest in bathing culture, and her time as a Zeldin fellow at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia. To see examples of her work visit www.stephaniekantor.com . For today's AMACO Community Corkboard we have Rosewater , an exhibition of ceramic sculpture by Stephanie Kantor, on display until January 5th, 2020 at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia.
