Today on the show I talk with Lucy Fagella. She makes a variety of functional pots from her Western Massachusetts studio, including pots for the kitchen and a line of memorial urns. In our interview we talk about the cycles of the studio, glaze development, and her path to making memorial objects. You can find more about Lucy at www.lucyfagella.com. We also discuss the history of the Asparagus Valley Pottery Trail and their Early Career Fellowship for BIPOC Ceramic Artists. The deadline for this year’s fellowship is October 1st and you can apply through www.apotterytrail.com.
