Clay Commons
A podcast about community ceramics and clay as a force for good. Clay Commons is a six-part podcast hosted by artist and educator Eva Masterman, co-produced by AiAi Studios. Each episode presents conversations with teachers, artists, activists and community leaders, all using clay as a tool to build community. Focusing on the UK and America, Clay Commons explores the rise of a diverse movement of community ceramic practices, and investigates how clay can play a central role in creating alternative solutions to arts education and new systems of value in society.
