On this week’s installment of Swell Season Surf Radio: The Art and Design Series, Chris Labzda and Chris Coffin sit down with Jon Baylor; Surfer, Ceramicist, and Curator of the recently opened exhibition “Rising Tide: Reflections of Surf Art and Culture” at The Jamestown Arts Center in Jamestown, Rhode Island.

Baylor, of Wakefield, RI, has been a mainstay in the south county surf community for over 15 years and collaborates with his wife, Ashley, in their studio practice and business, Salt Pond Pottery. Baylor’s aesthetic sensibilities are broad in scope; inspired by the conflation of organic forms and industrial structures. Baylor is equally inspired by honeycombs, board shapers and the systems theory and architecture of Buckminster Fuller.

The Swell Season Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network.
