462: Meet the Parents: Mallory Wetherell and Matt Ziemke

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have the fifth installment in a series of interviews about parenting. For the series I invited artist couples to talk with each other about finding balance between creative work and life as a parent. Today’s interview features Mallory Wetherell and Matt Ziemke. The couple are based in Kearny, NE, where Mallory is the head of Ceramics at the University of Nebraska at Kearney and Matt is a senior lecturer and gallery director. To see their work visit www.mallorywetherell.com or www.mattziemke.com.

I’m happy to announce that I’ll be jurying The Clay Center of New Orleans upcoming exhibition “Less is More”. This juried exhibition is open to ceramic vessels, sculptures, and wall-mounted works, and celebrates earthenware clay and low-fire surface techniques. Application deadline is April 15th so visit www.nolaclay.org/calls-for-entries to apply today.
