136: Adam and Melissa Yungbluth on the St. Petersburg Art Scene

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with artist couple Adam and Melissa Yungbluth. Based in St. Petersburg, FL they both have an active studio practice making functional ceramic vessels. In addition to the studio, Melissa is the assistant curator of exhibitions at the Morean Center for Art and Adam manages studio operations at the Morean Center for Clay. In the interview we talk about the history of the art scene in St. Petersburg, the rise of nerd culture, and their mutual love of comedy podcasts.
