About Our Podcast
Honest conversations with Bob Acton and world-class ceramic artists about colour, surface and the creative life behind the work.
Colour and Ceramics began in 2023 as a deep dive into
surface design and the psychology of colour in ceramics. It has grown into
something richer. Conversations that go beyond technique into the questions
every serious creative eventually faces.
What draws you toward your work right now? What pulls you
off centre? How has self-doubt shown up in your practice and how has your
relationship to it changed? What helps you return to the work when it feels
stalled?
These are the conversations happening here. With some of the
world's finest ceramic artists, every two weeks.
The result has found its way to thousands of listeners
across more than 60 countries.
