  • S1E6 - Boredom is a state of mind with Simon Ogden

    I am joined by the artist - Simon Ogden. Simon works in mixed media and utilizes such materials as linoleum and plywood to create some stunning works of art! It was a real pleasure to chat with Simon about creativity and what it means to be a crafts-person. There are many parallels between his work and the construction industry and his ability to verbalize his process makes for fascinating listening!
