About Our Podcast
Colour and design affects peoples’ emotional reactions and mood. In ceramics, the artist uses colour to imbue something other than that communicated from the form itself. This podcast explores the entire spectrum of colour, the psychology of colour, and how to use colour to communicate in ceramics.
Bob Acton not only interviews top ceramic artists from around the world but also artists using other mediums who use colour in their work. Look for a new podcast every two weeks and bonus episodes.
Bob can be contacted through his website at https://bobactonceramics.com or via the Colour and Ceramics Podcast Instagram page at https://instagram.com/colourandceramics or at his Instagram page at https://instagram.com/bobacton.
Zana Ohe is the show producer.
