While on vacation from the pottery last week, I realized my body of work may encompass more than simply making the art, marketing, and selling.  Here, I discuss seven things your work may encompass in your life that you may not even realize.  If you take time to observe, read, network, rest, think, tell your story, and communicate without beating yourself up you could create better work.  Many things influence the art we create, and those influences show up in the work though our hands. 

There are many things to look at when doing prep work and participating in a show to sell your art work.  Analyzing opportunity cost, having the right product for the right buyers, and doing follow up is all very important. In this podcast I talk about the ways I think about shows and I hope you find the tips somewhat useful.   

In this episode, we discuss 45 ways we might stall our work from being put into the world due to fear.  Using Seth Godin's book, "The Practice: Shipping Creative Work." We discuss the many ways creators use to stall.  I myself may have used all of these at some point.  Have you?

Life can get busy! In this episode, we talk about five time management tips if you make pottery after work.  A little can be a lot when collected.
