Crafting The Future: Corey Pemberton
In the 52nd episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown remotely records her interview with LA-based artist Corey Pemberton from the safety of her own home. It’s been 3 months since an episode has been released and in that time, Sarah has adapted her recording technology, know-how, and embraced the new reality that remote recording is the only option for the foreseeable future.
Sarah connected with Corey to discuss Crafting The Future, a collective of artists concerned about the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the fields of craft, art, and design. The two artists discuss what it’s like leading an organization in its infancy, what a fiscal sponsor is, the power of creating community to create change, and who exactly is the mothership.
Corey Pemberton (American b. Reston, VA 1990) received his BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2012. He has completed residencies at The Pittsburgh Glass Center (PA), Bruket (Bodø, NO), as well as a Core Fellowship at the Penland School of Crafts (NC). He currently resides in Los Angeles, California where he splits his time between a production glass blowing job, his painting practice, and outreach work with Crafting the Future.
