Listen "Why Make? Episode 33: Andy Buck"
Episode Synopsis
In Episode 33 of Why Make? we talk with furniture maker, sculptor, and educator, Andy Buck. Andy is currently a full professor in the School for American Crafts in the College of Art and Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He has also taught at the Oregon College of Art & Craft, and given workshops at Anderson Ranch, Haystack, Penland and Peters Valley.
Andy’s work has always seemed to embody fun and whimsical forms but we step behind the whimsy to talk about the serious ideas he is exploring in his work and the unique design vocabulary he has developed.
Robb has been an admirer of Andy’s work for a long time and his fun play on tools and toilet bowl plungers inspired his early work, including an ongoing flyswatter series! So grab a brush and a can of milk paint and join us as we see what makes Andy Buck tick.
