I had the award-winning Santa Clara potter Susan Folwell on the podcast today. She followed up a podcast that I recorded with her husband, Davison Keonig, the director of the Couse-Sharp Historic Site in Taos, NM. I loved this interview because I got to hear Susan's backstory in great and entertaining detail. Susan's mom, the famous contemporary potter Jody Folwell an important figure pueblo pottery. Jody Folwell was the ceramist who popularized asymmetrical pottery and inserting social commentary onto her pottery in the 20th century. Susan is one of the great pueblo potters in her own right plotting her trajectory of having a famous mother potter and the fact she really didn't want to go into pottery at all (she really wanted to do photography) and how all of that led up to what she's working on now. We discussed her recent and future exhibitions and how she's continued to be a figurehead in the pueblo potter community through all of the turmoil in 2020. This is a wonderful podcast and Susan was very delightful to speak with. Sit back and relax, and enjoy this episode of the Art Dealer Diaries Podcast with Susan Folwell.
