This episode is an absolute treat - Steven interviews ceramic artist
Nan Deardorff-McClain, maker of
the beautiful ceramic map of Delft.
This is a delightful project turning a graffiti-covered wall into a physical
representation of a visually extraordinary ceramic representation of a 15th
century map. Nan shares the details of the project and how the local community
came together to make it a reality. Do yourself a favor and check out the
fantastic pictures in the links below. This project shows the incredible
power of physical cartographic art. Hopefully we can get Nan to a Geomob
event in the future to share more about this map.
