Episode 035: Danielle Chutinthranond

Recorded July 21, 2021. 

In this interview Danielle Chutinthranond shares her non-linear path leading to pottery and how important following her instincts has been in the process of becoming a craftsperson. She identifies her reciprocal/creative relationship between her pottery and the food intended to be served on her pieces, and even creates work based on particular entrees. Along the way she also has created a new relationship between traditional symbolism and the decorative aspects of her work. She feels the personal depth of symbolic meaning in the “Three Friends of Winter” and these motifs have helped her process her experience of the last two years through her work and identify her philosophy in new and important ways.

Danielle’s craft crushes: Monohanako, Rifatto, Bookhou, Eileen Fisher and @wastenomore.
