In today's episode, Bob Acton has a lovely conversation with Miche Follano where they discuss colour, slips, surface design and ideas about how to produce beautiful work.
Inspired by her love affair with collage, printing and painting, Miche's current body of work uses the urban landscapes to inspire a contemporary interpretation. The interplay between surface and form, the ways in which colours exist side by side provide infinite ways of how clay can be transformed into rich, visceral and personally expressive individual statements.
Intuitive mark making, lithography and clay manipulation, combined with careful deliberation on familiar form, provides a satisfying making process; allowing for the spontaneous to sit beside the considered. This builds an exciting visual language open to personal interpretation

Welcome to the Colour and Ceramics Podcast and Bob's interview with Richard Wilson. Bob and Richard talk about his journey in clay and his approach to colour and surface design.
Richard was born and brought up in Norwich, and has been making pots since the early 1970s. After studying for two years at Great Yarmouth College of Art, he worked from 1974 to 1980 at Le Dieu Pottery in Norwich before spending 3 years in Australia and New Zealand, and a further five in Germany, working with many potters using different techniques, in particular woodfired salt glazes.
He now uses brightly coloured slips on his work. You can find him on his website at https://www.rwilson-ceramics.co.uk and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/richard_wilson_ceramics/
