This is a bit of a catch-up episode. Reality is nibbling as Louise is home again after her retreat time to admin and domestics. Alice is arriving back after a busy art fair and feeling guilty she may have mansplained someone’s work to them among other conversations.
While not every week is a productive or creative studio time, but we all have ideas still bubbling and we talk about how to move from a fantasy version (which may stay in your head) to moving towards making them a reality while they are still hazy.

Find your Creative Spark with Jenny Grant [248]

“The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.”
Alain de Botton
This week we're catching up after Alice's trip to Bali with stories of hot hikes, vibrating water beds (?!) and more!
While travel can be fun, the real benefit is how experiences like this can change the way you do things, or what you think of as possible. What can we take back in to our art practice - perhaps to nudge our edges a bit...
You can see some of Alice's travel stories in the saved highlights on her Instagram @alicesheridanstudio

Bali rules [247]

Do you ever find yourself rushing around, filling every moment, and then wondering why your art is disappointing? In today's conversation, we explore the topic of making space and allowing our art to breathe. Sometimes this means letting a single painting rest before working on it again, and sometimes it means taking a complete break to recharge and find new creative energy. For some people this comes easily - for others it can be extremely challenging. If you are one of those people, we hope this conversation is helpful :)
