This week on the HobbyScool podcast, I had the joy of speaking with mixed media artist and teacher, Consie Sindet, who brings over 20 years of experience teaching creativity to our conversation about developing a playful art practice.

If you've ever felt intimidated by art or believed you're "not creative enough," this episode is especially for you!

You'll learn her simple "three S's" method for starting a creative practice (using supplies you probably already have around your home), discover the liberating concept of "daily-ish" creativity, and understand why perfectionism has no place in your artistic journey.

What I love most about Consie's approach is how she removes all the barriers that typically hold people back.

No expensive supplies needed. No massive time commitment required. No special talent necessary. Just a willingness to play and explore with the curiosity of a child.

Whether you're looking to reignite a dormant creative spark or start your very first artistic practice, this conversation offers the perfect blend of inspiration and practical steps to help you begin today—even if that just means drawing circles on a Post-it note while your coffee brews!

Tune in now to discover how five minutes of creative play could transform not just your artistic life, but how you see the world around you.

Your creative journey is waiting!
