Manage episode 430370133 series 3352723
"I'd done a lot of clay-making...you can spend a lifetime and only get good at one technique!"
Jennifer Lucy Allan joins me to talk about her second book, CLAY: A HUMAN HISTORY (White Rabbit Books). After Jennifer's exploration and writing about sound in The Foghorn's Lament (White Rabbit Books), Jennifer has, quite literally, turned her hand to a more physical and enduring substance in clay. From Japanese Tea Ceremonies, to humans making their own image, to life on Mars, clay is seemingly everywhere. Jennifer is also a presenter on BBC Radio 3's Late Junction.

10.30 - Ephemerality of sound and permanence of clay - the writing challenges.
13.40 - Clay: its history compared with human history
15:15 - Who is Marija Gimbutas, and why is she important
