Derek Reeverts is a figure sculptor based in Gainesville, FL, where he is the teaching lab specialist at the University of Florida. In our interview we talk about his use of symbols and tools to depict the midwestern work ethic, teaching students to build and use energy efficient kilns, and the changes the Florida education system has gone through in recent years. www.derekreeverts.com.
Derek is a member of the NCECA Green Task Force, which will be taking part in the project space at this year’s conference. Check out Matt Fiske, Hamish Jackson, and others for a wild clay experience that includes learning how to ethically harvest and process wild clay using materials from Utah. If you will be at the conference this week in Salt Lake City come to one of the live tapings that will be happening throughout the day on March 27th and 28th. Find out more on the NCECA app or www.nceca.net.
I’m happy to be taking part in this year’s Asparagus Valley Pottery Trail, where I will be a guest of Lucy Fagella April 26th and 27th in Greenfield, MA. I’ll also be in the first annual Princeton Pottery Festival, happening at the Princeton Day School May 3rd and 4th. Both events feature an excellent selection of both emerging and established artists. Hope to see you there.
