Episode 12 - Education, Memory and Connecting to Landscape with Artist and Educator Rachel North

This week we were joined by Rachel North, an educator and multi-disciplinary artist working on Yuggera Ugarapul Country. Rachel's work explores the complex connections between landscape and memory. Using ceramics, painting and textiles to communicate her conceptual ideas, Rachel tells us how her practice has evolved over time to cross creative disciplines and deepen her understanding of how place can hold and hinder memory. Rachel tells us about her experiences as an arts educator of the next generation and how she engages her students with the medium of clay. Lastly we ask Rachel how to begin working on a big project, and what's her piece of advice for other makers?Keep in touch with Rachel and see her latest work here: @maple_and_raven_studio --------------------------------------------------------Talk to us via email [email protected] or DM @birdsofclay_podcast.Find us on InstagramRora @aurora_elwellJane @jane.orme.pottery
