Artists in pyjamas

Today we are pleased to share with you a brilliant discussion we had with the fabulous artist Pei-Chi Lee in her studio at Batch Studio in Hackney. Pei-Chi is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationship between play and well-being, looking particularly at the public sphere. She graduated from the RCA in 2019 and has worked since as an installation artist, design researcher, and illustrator, based between UK and Taiwan.

We met Pei-Chi Lee last year when we exhibited during London Craft week with the Soft collective and have been admirers of her work since then! This episode is so open and honest, and a great insight into the life of a young emerging artist with great tips and advice along the way.

You can follow her work on Instagram at @pepperchilee and check her website https://pepperchilee.com/Info.

Happy New Year lovely listeners! We are returning this January with lots of joyful and optimistic vibes to send your way. In this episode, we reflect on the year we've just had and the lessons we can take with us into 2023. January can be a very anxious month for many of us, with our hopes and aims for the New Year often feeling overwhelming. We are here to make this beginning feel a little easier, and hopefully, bring you a little optimistic dreaminess to kick it all off! :)

DISCLAIMER: There was construction going on outside the building so unfortunately, the audio has a lot of background noise. Hopefully, you can focus on what is being discussed and put the other noises out of your mind.

This week we share with you a brilliant interview we had the honor to do with Alice Bunhope in her studio at Cockpit art in Deptford. Alice is an award-winning textile artist, specializing in user experience, socially-engaged artwork, and sustainist design. She works with discarded fabrics to address the current imbalance between material use, waste, and the effect on the natural environment.

Alice is full of positivity and inspiration in this episode, we hope you feel empowered to continue your own journey after listening to her!

This week, we discuss the emotional roller coaster of working on a long-term, time-consuming artwork, the importance of not being restricted by the original vision of it, and the motivation and perseverance you need to get it to the finish line! We also discuss the latest update on our collaboration Onto soft grounds!
