532: Greg Daly on painting with flame to create reduced lusters

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

Greg Daly is a master of the luster genre using a reduction kiln to create rich surfaces that depict the Australian landscape. In our interview we talk about how subtle differences in reduction affect luster surfaces, teaching as an act of problem solving, and why collecting other artists work has been important to his development. Greg has had over 100 solo exhibitions, so we also discuss staying motivated over a 50-year career. You can read more about Greg’s work in my book The Complete Guide to Low-Fire Glazes for Potters and Sculptors. A big thank you to him for writing about his process and for freely sharing his research. The book is now available where fine books are sold.
