Ep 12 OPEN PIT FIRING WILD CLAY: Desperate making with Emily Brownawell

<p>How an urgent need to make can lead to simple, accessible tools and methods.  Open pit fire the wild clay you harvested and processed with us earlier in the Season - if you don't have land, use a trashcan!  Can your earthenware make the transition to becoming ceramic?  Emily shares her artistic process and methods as a ceramic artist.   </p> <p>This is Part 3 of a three-part making exercise over the season of the show – harvesting wild clay (Ep 2), processing wild clay (Ep 11) and firing your wild clay in an open pit (Season finale and Part 3).</p> <p> </p> <p>About Emily: </p> <p><br /> Emily Brownawell is a New York based ceramic artist. She earned her MFA in Ceramics at the State University of New York at New Paltz. Grants and fellowships include the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts Technical Assistant, Andrah Scholarship, Research and Creative Projects Award, Bolton Scholarship, and the Virginia Fuller Prize.  She has exhibited at the Dorsky Gallery Curatorial Programs, The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, Williamsburg Arts and Historical Center, and Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.  </p> <p>Raised by oceanographers across the street from an intertidal region of Long Island Sound, the marine ecosystem played a powerful role throughout her childhood and continues to inform her practice through visual inspiration and systems of organization. Her work focuses on the physicality of the landscape. In her practice, the ceramic process represents a transformation of natural materials into objects of culture and records of time. Through ceramic sculpture and installation, she explores various relationships between natural and synthetic processes. </p> <p><a href= "http://www.emilybrownawell.com">www.emilybrownawell.com</a></p> <p>instagram.com/emilybrownawell/</p> <p>Music credit: "Song We Came To Sing" by Living Roots livingrootsmusic.com</p> <p> </p>
