  • In the 73rd episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is at the Penland School of Craft during their Winter Residency. This episode is part of a special series featuring the Distinguished Fellows of the Penland Winter Residency.

Sarah was encouraged to share a portion of her work with Penland’s artist community, thus this special series.

    The first Distinguished Fellow to be featured is Ada del Pilar Ortiz Berríos, a visual artist and educator based in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico. This past November, Sarah traveled to San Juan, PR, for the first time and, while there, visited the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico. At this museum, she came across Ada’s work, not knowing that she would have the chance to interview her two months later. The two artists sat down to discuss Ada’s life in Puerto Rico, the residencies Ada has completed, and what she is focusing on during her time at Penland.

    MORE ABOUT OUR GUEST:

    Ada del Pilar Ortiz Berríos (b.1995 Barranquitas, Puerto Rico) is a visual artist and educator. Her artistic practice interacts with sculptural processes that explore issues within the architectural condition, the meaning of home, the remains of built space and their relationship with memory. Through her work she reflects on how these concepts shape us in the place we inhabit from its physicality and the one that resides in us from memory -both concrete and malleable- as part of our formation, establishing a link between the reality of a place and the imagined one. Ada del Pilar obtained her BFA with a concentration in Painting from the School of Fine Arts and Design of Puerto Rico in 2018. Her work has been presented individually and collectively in spaces such as the Arsenal de la Puntilla Museum, El Kilómetro Gallery, Embajada Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico and the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center in New York, among others. She has participated in residencies including Área: Programa de Residencias (2019), “La Práctica” interdisciplinary program at Beta Local (2019), The Studios at MASS MoCA, Puerto Rico Artist Fellowship (2023) and Penland School of Crafts Winter Residency (2024). Her work has been commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico under the "MAC en el Barrio" program. Ada’s work has been supported by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts and CATAPULT: "A Caribbean Arts Grant" programme. She currently lives and works in Bayamón, Puerto Rico as an artist in residency in "Proyecto Casitas Artistas Residentes" of this municipality.

  • In the coming 4 episodes of the podcast, host Sarah Rachel Brown interviews distinguished fellows of the Penland Winter Residency. These interviews were recorded in January 2024 as part of Sarah’s Andrew Glasgow Residency. This Glasgow residency provides emerging and established writers, scholars, curators, and storytellers in all mediums with the freedom to write stories and conduct research and interviews on topics designed to advance the field of craft.

    With the support of the Penland School of Craft, this special series aims to highlight what the Penland Winter Residency is and what it means to be a distinguished fellow. Through one-on-one interviews with select fellows, Sarah gives insight into what this experience entailed and how this opportunity impacted each artist’s current studio practice.

    To help introduce this series, Sarah asked members of Penland’s staff to speak on what exactly Penland’s Winter Residency is, how artists can participate, and the process for selecting distinguished fellows. 

    In order of guest appearance:

    Leslie Noell, Creative Director

    Nadia Massoud, Studio Operations Manager

    Mia Hall, Executive Director

    The first episode will be released on Tuesday, April 9th. Thank you to Penland and the Andrew Glasgow Residency for the time and space to make this series possible. And a special thank you to the participating artists for stepping away from your studios to record these interviews.

  • In the 71st episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Asheville, NC. In January of 2023, Sarah was making the drive from Florida to Pennsylvania and planned her trip around the opportunity to interview craft historian Andrew Glasgow. The two were introduced the previous summer while at the Penland School of Craft, and Sarah, having known of Andrew’s vast career within the craft community, was thrilled when he agreed to an interview.

    The two craft appreciators sat down in Andrew’s mid-century modern home to discuss how the Alabama native went from thinking he’d be a dentist to being an executive director of a non-profit in New York City. A year into his position as the executive director of the American Craft Council, Andrew was diagnosed with Lymphoma, and he shares with Sarah how his mindset, hope, and being his own advocate helped him through the estimated 806+ drug infusions and being declared cancer-free in 2013.

  • In the 70th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Seattle, WA, spending the Thanksgiving holiday with her older brother, Benton Brown. For years, the two have talked about recording an interview, and they are finally in the same place and on the same page.

    In recent years, Sarah and Ben have put in the effort to strengthen their relationship. Raised primarily separately, Ben with their father in Oklahoma and Sarah with their mother in Iowa, the two siblings are still learning who each other has become in adulthood. However, regardless of their separate upbringings in very different environments, they have many talents and passions in common- an example of the long-standing debate of nature vs. nurture. 

    The two siblings discuss how Ben became a multi-talented artist and graphic designer, the importance of not letting your loyalty get in the way of your growth, finding a job when you don’t expect it, and being the one who’s better.

  • In the 69th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown shares an interview she recorded while visiting Asheville, NC, in January of 2023. Sarah reconnected with her friend and creative business coach, Gwynne Rukenbrod Smith, whom she met years ago when Gwynne was the executive director of the Society of North American Goldsmiths, and Sarah was a new member attending her first SNAG conference. 

    The two creatives sat down and discussed the importance of not letting qualifications get in the way of going for the jobs and opportunities you want, being creative but not in the making sense, taking advantage of resources at your job to grow your skills and certifications, and finding the value in getting terminated from a job.

  • In the 66th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in the midst of a roadtrip and makes a stop in Atlanta, GA to interview her friend Ken Oriole.

In the past year Ken had moved to Atlanta and since Sarah was driving through, this was the perfect opportunity to learn more about what Ken’s job entails.

    The two friends sat down to discuss how Ken got his start as a sound engineer, how someone builds connections with this type of work, the difference between a producer and an engineer, and how Ken navigates billing his projects and re-evaluating the value of his time.

  • the 65th episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown connects remotely with Namita Gupta Wiggers. Namita is a writer, educator, and curator based in Portland, OR that Sarah met in Chicago during a conference in 2019. Since that time, Sarah has followed Namita’s work with the Critical Craft Forum and the MA in Critical Craft Studies program at Warren Wilson College.

    Having learned that the Critical Craft Studies program would be closing, Sarah reached to ask if Namita would share what her role was as Director of the program and what this closure means for both her and the students. The conversation gives insight as how the program was created, the intention behind the curriculum, the importance of understanding budgets, and how the college is navigating the logistics of the closure.

    This insightful conversation has been produced in two parts.

    The extended audio from this conversation is available through the Perceived Value Patreon.

  • In the 64th episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown shares an interview that took place this past May in Philadelphia. Before the interview, your host gives an update on how her big shift to full-time freelancing has been going since that time. It’s only fair she shares about her own transition, right?

    Today’s guest is Adrienne Manno, a Philadelphia creative whose brand Feast Sarah had admired and been following prior to connecting with Manno. The two Philadelphians sat down to discuss what brought Adrienne to Philadelphia, her background in apparel design, what holding a job for over 16 years entails, and what it’s like transitioning out of a role you’ve held for so long.

    ABOUT OUR GUEST

    Feast was born out of the nostalgia of making.

    Jewelry has always been a love-language used by Adrienne throughout her life, marking travel adventures and honoring family heirlooms. 

    Returning to work with her hands, she began sourcing and collecting materials, that in 2018, evolved into the brand. 

    Named after her favorite word, Feast, which signifies celebration and community, important themes for finding life’s connections.

    Designing capsule collections each season gives Feast the freedom to grow and change, adapting to new inspirations.

    Feast seeks to continue practicing sustainable methods in creating, by designing with new, deadstock, and up-cycled materials.

  • In the 62nd episode of Perceived Value host Sarah Rachel Brown sits down with American Craft Council board trustee Tom Loeser. Sarah and Tom’s paths crossed at an event and their conversation quickly turned to discussing Tom’s experience serving on a nonprofit board. Having recently took interest in working on a board, Sarah did not hesitate to ask for an interview.

    A few months later the two artists connected to discuss what a nonprofit board is and how it is structured, what does serving on a board means monetarily-wise, why one would want to serve, what the board can do for you, and ways in which nonprofit boards such as the ACC can work towards creating a more diverse group of trustees.

  • Season 05 of Perceived Value is all about transitions and begins with host Sarah Rachel Brown in conversation with artist and photographer Helen Maurene Cooper. Sarah and Cooper connected at a time when both women were (and still are) navigating transitions in their professional lives and working towards financial autonomy.

    The two Philadelphia-based artists sat down in Cooper’s 19th century inspired Fishtown Studio to discuss her experience formalizing her commercial and commissioned work under the name Vanity Tintype to begin her own business. Their conversation delves into understanding the value of one’s time and properly charging for it, what exactly a tintype is, the pleasure of being a choosy business owner, and Cooper fills Sarah in on what a blue chip artist is.

  • Over the past year Sarah Rachel Brown has been collaborating with American Craft Magazine to bring the Object As... Project from the pages of the magazine to your podcast feeds. The first episode launches APRIL 15th through the American Craft Podcast feed. Enjoy this sneak peak into what the project entails and subscribe now to American Craft Podcast.

    Object As...
    Objects speak to our current cultural, political, societal, environmental, and social climates. Objects can serve as a form of resistance, as commentary on today’s world’s issues. Objects can be acts of rebellion, civic disruption, and speak to the future. Objects can create new conversations.
    Six artists were commissioned to create an object to carry ideas that are relevant to them today. Through one-on-one interviews with host Sarah Rachel Brown, you will hear each artist speak to how these objects came into being and what they mean to the maker.

    This project is just one part of a larger effort to use our organization's platforms and channels of communication to help illuminate and dismantle systemic racism, oppression, global warming, political issues, and continue exploring how the practices of craft can help build a better world for everyone.

    Let the conversations begin!
