Roberto Lugo
Roberto Lugo is a potter living and working in Vermont. He grew up in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia and began his creative life writing graffiti. Today, he is known for his teapots, which\xa0are for him a symbol of learning other cultures, as he didn't grow up using teapots in his Puerto Rican household. His pots\xa0incorporate his artistic beginnings in graffiti and include references to his own background\xa0and to global cultures, and he designs them to spark conversation. Roberto\xa0is a professor at Marlboro College, and he talks about the different languages of academia, the pottery room, and the community where he was raised\u2014and the challenges and joys of truly communicating across cultures.
Make/Time shares\xa0conversations about craft, inspiration, and the creative process. Listen to leading makers and thinkers talk about\xa0where they came from, what they're making, and where they're going next. Make/Time is hosted by Stuart Kestenbaum and is a project of craftschools.us.
