  • This is my favorite art-related podcast

    I first discovered Studio Break a couple years back, when I’d returned to college for art and was spending long weekend hours in the studio drawing still lives with charcoal. It had a large backlog of episodes to fill that time, and it featured artists talking about art…what could be better when you’re having to determine how to draw a flat piece of paper in perspective?

    The best thing about this podcast is that host David Linneweh does not come to the mic with an agenda. He is not flogging a ... more

    I’ve been taking in a couple episodes a day as a necessary dose of painting talk. I really appreciate the focus on non-coastal artists. I’ve discovered some gems from the backlog like Ben Duke. Thanks for putting this out there.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MATERIAL MOVES: GINA HUNT, NEIL CALLANDER, ELLIE DALE ANDERSON, BILL CONGER, JASON RAFFERTY
Q: What upcoming opportunities should audiences look out for to see more of your work?
Upcoming solo and group shows, open studios, and gallery publications are highlighted, with emphasis on engagement through Instagram and gallery websites.
DONOVAN WIDMER 3
Q: Why do you stay committed to traditional techniques?
I believe the discipline and limits of traditional techniques ground my work and keep a link to craft history, even as I push ideas about beauty, aging, and display, rather than embracing newer digital methods.
JOCELYN REID
Q: What sparked your shift from purely functional ceramics to more sculptural and narrative works?
The move happened in grad school as I re-evaluated the values of my practice; I started experimenting with new materials like soap, 3D modeling, and casting to explore impermanence, personal storytelling, and the idea of objects carrying meaning beyond function.
JOCELYN REID
Q: How did you choose the MFA program and location that finally felt right for you?
I wanted a three-year interdisciplinary program where I'd be paid to study, avoid debt, and expand my material horizons, which led me to the University of Arkansas after meeting a faculty member at a residency who suggested it due to its funding and growth potential.
CAROLINE WINGERD
Q: How did your experiences abroad influence your artwork, particularly the Monsters and your approach to printmaking?
She discusses how Poland challenged her comfort zone and Italy broadened her exposure to large-scale environments, informing her concept of space, process, and the way end products arise from travel-induced observations.
