Silver prices are up. Is your creativity up as well, or feeling the pinch?

In this episode, Patrik and I sit down with the smart and resourceful Pam East to talk about what's on every metal clay artist's mind right now and how to keep creating when silver clay feels like a luxury item.

Pam shares clever, real-world ways to stretch your materials (without sacrificing design), smart substitutions you may not have considered, and how constraints can actually push your work in exciting new directions.

We also dive into inspiration. Where does it actually come from, and how to find it when you feel tapped out. Sometimes the best ideas show up when things aren't going perfectly.

If you've been side-eyeing your silver stash or waiting for a spark to hit, this episode is your pull to get back to the studio.
