This document provides guidance on coding qualitative interview data. It discusses the process of transcribing interviews, noticing anticipated codes based on topics of interest, and other trends that emerge from the data. Sample coding categories are presented from interviews with ceramic artists, including codes around ceramics as a hobby/serious endeavor, assertions of neutrality around gender as an artist, depictions of gender in ceramic works, and communities of female artists. Visualizing codes as a word cloud is also suggested to communicate patterns of speech and silence around the topic.

“Train of Thought” by Leo Bridle
Simple Outline
“A Journey for Love”
I. Leo Bridle and Ben Thomas were the film makers.
a. I believe they are in their late 20s and early 30s, and they graduated from the Arts Institute at Bournemouth.
b. From the United Kingdom.
II. The basic structure of the artwork is Film.
a. Material used was digital compositing software and all the animations were done by hand and not the compositing software.
b. The subject of the seemed to be the young artist and he seemed to have been in search of someone. Everything seemed to be between and a gray/sepia scale with a design using cut outs and wooden toys.
III. I think this whole film was based on love.
a. My 1st idea is that he is trying to find the woman he loved. He may have seen her before at the station and drawn her out of memory and may have come back to find her there. When he didn’t, he hopped on the train in search for her only to come up empty. I believe he used his drawing pad as some sort of map as to where she may have been. When he doesn’t find her, he returns to the station once again and this time, he finds her. He then realizes that she may be an artist as well and may have gone through the same processes to find each other.
b. My 2nd idea is that he may have drawn her as well as the other drawings in his book subconsciously and realized this was a woman he had to meet. He then returns to the train station, which is the setting of his drawing. When she doesn’t come, he hops on the train and then goes in search for the woman that he loves. When he doesn’t find her he returns back to the station and that is where he finally sees her. They go towards each other and hold hands, seeming like they both went through the same measures to find each other.
I think the way the film makers used photography and film made this a very interesting form of media. Everything looked cartooned and real at the same time. The train station and the train themselves looked like they were made out of wooden toys and the people all looked like cut outs that were animated to look like they were moving, inside of their cut out frames. This was a well done film and they filmmakers did a wonderful job. I must say it sure caught my attention.

"A Maiden in Born"
My color is milky white and thus a maiden is born... I was created by the great sculptural artist Ernst Wenck in 1901. He created my soft white body by using his strong meticulous hands. He is indeed an artist. I was created in a time when conservatism was not very popular. Because of my intricate detail and the delicate image I carry I became a model for porcelain miniatures.
If you study my structure you see the qualities that may have lead to my continued popularity. I lean forward and you see the muscle tone of my leg by the light tha ...

Presented at Ignite Sydney 2010 as part of Global Ignite week, this talk introduces the ultra feminine Computer Engineer Barbie, and why it's a damn good thing.
2. Format of Section 1: Interview
Introduces the person (biography) and the questions
(thesis/purpose statements).
Describes the process of interviewing (methodology).
Presents the questions and discusses the answers (data
and analysis/interpretation).
Additional portraiture possibilities: include sketches,
photos, art images from the site/person you interview
(documents of identity – images that tell who they are).
More to come…
3. Coding – What is it?
Classifying, describing, finding patterns
Part of researching, part of making connections, part
of making meaning
4. The Process
Transcribe or type up your data from the interviews
Notice anticipatory codes – words or concepts you already know
you are interested in. For example: interdisciplinarity, for nature,
for technology, for recycling, etc.
Notice other trends. What are words or ideas that keep popping
up? The challenge is to be mindful/really pay attention to data.
Triangulation – check with a peer about other codes noticed.
Their additions can enhance your research, and if they echo
some of your codes, that suggests your analysis has more
validity/relevance.
5. Hobbyist // Serious artist
Art // Craft (“on a ledge”)
“Bikini-clad” // “Large, scary person”
Female physicalities // Gender technologies
Individuality // Community
Speech // Silence
6. Sample Coding Key: Interviews with
Ceramic Artists
BLUE: Ceramics as a “hobby” or a “serious” endeavor along gender
groupings
RED: Assertions of neutrality of gender in role as artist (not seeing self as
“female potter”)
DARK GREEN: “Feminine” of traditionally female subject matter and
processes – especially SCALE
TURQUOISE: Female community
ORANGE: Ambivalence/duality in the material of clay
NEON GREEN: Depicting Female/male bodies in clay
PINK: Oppositionality/”proving” oneself as a ceramic artist
GREY: Art and craft delineations
AMBIVALENCE: Anticipatory code of balancing two opposing ideas
7. Sample: Codes
I don't think gender plays a role except for
shows maybe. I think that is kind of the
general attitude of the artwork. It seems
like a guy is taken more as an artist, whereas
a girl as an artist is seen as a hobbyist. (Clay
as a hobby code)
I just got my work in a show of all women,
and I was in one last fall. That was good for
me – I am not complaining! That was one of
the points the organizers made... that if
people said it was not fair it was all women
and it has always been the opposite in
history so.... (Female community code)
8. Visual Data: Communication: speech and silence
(like a word cloud)
what does it mean to you to be a female ceramic artist? Being female as a ceramic artist.
I identify with being a Black female potter.
I don‟t know if I would emphasize the female part. I‟m a potter.
I rarely think of myself as a „female potter‟ but just a potter.
(I guess when I started) it didn‟t mean anything. Just being an artist.
I didn‟t want to be singled out. I wanted to be like everyone else.
I wanted to go forward in the profession.
Mostly I don‟t think about being a female potter. I guess I think of myself as an artist.
I‟ve never really thought about it. Not that much especially. No, I don't think so.
To answer your question, I'd just say no!
The main thing is I like being a potter.
