348: Graham Taylor on heritage pottery and experimental archeology

Tales of a Red Clay Rambler: A pottery and ceramic art podcast

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Graham Taylor. Taylor’s historical ceramic reproductions are featured in cultural institutions forming a gateway for viewers to understand the methods, techniques, and lives of past civilizations. In our interview we talk about his training in the Cardew lineage and how this led him to manage the Kolonyama pottery in Lesotho for many years, how working with archeologists has influenced his understanding of historical ceramics, and the evolution of ceramics from the Neolithic to the Roman era in the United Kingdom.
