About this listen
Nathan Murray creates groupings of figure sculptures that explore the intersection of race, class, and culture in America. In our interview we talk about his recent portrait of Malcolm X, which is now installed at the Nebraska state capital, his Color Theory series, and using non ceramic materials to create realistic skin tones. We also discuss his connection to Lincoln, Nebraska where he was raised and has now come back to set down roots. You can read more about Nathan in my book The Complete Guide to Low-Fire Glazes for Potters and Sculptors or visit www.nathanmurraystudios.com.
I’ll be teaching two workshops this summer on ceramic surface design. The first will be at UNR Lake Tahoe June 16th-20th. I’ll also be at Snow Farm in Williamsburg, MA August 14 - 17, 2025. If you are interested in building layers through mark making and pattern, join me on either coast for a week full of experimentation and community. To register visit UNR.edu or www.snowfarm.org.
