407: Dustin Yager on his tongue in cheek approach to ceramics

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I talk with NYC based ceramic artist Dustin Yager. Through his Ceramics and Theory brand Dustin Yager creates porcelain pottery decorated with humorous compositions of text and decals over gestural underglaze painting. In our interview we talk about his tongue in cheek approach to ceramics, the genesis of his sculptural work, and finding community in NYC. To see examples of his work, visit www.ceramicsandtheory.com or www.dustinyager.com.
