CRAFTCAST the Podcast #217

craftcast.com In this episode of CRAFTCAST, Patrik Kusek and I sit down with Shelley Atwood to talk all things color, how she chooses it, trusts it, and lets it guide her work. Shelley shares insights into her intuitive color process and the lasting influence of her teacher, Joan Tayler, on her creative voice. If color ever feels intimidating or you're ready to move beyond playing it safe, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and creative permission. #craftcast #colorinspiration #creativeprocess #artistmindset #polymerclay #craftpodcast #makersofinstagram #trustyourintuition

CRAFTCAST the Podcast #212

craftcast.com In this episode, I'm sharing 5 quick creative tips that keep me inspired and in motion: 1. It's a circle, not a line. Creativity loops and wanders—not knowing is part of the process. 2. Rest and return. Stop at night, come back with fresh eyes in the morning. 3. Set up easy re-entry. Tidy the studio, leave something ready so you'll want to dive back in. 4. Find balance. Balance brain work with hand work—keep both sides happy. 5. Show your work. Share what you make. The universe keeps trying to help you be seen. Tune in, take notes, and maybe find one idea that helps your own creative rhythm come full circle.

I have listened to your podcast for a long time. I am facinated by the kinds of crafts you discuss. I do not do most of them, but it's still interesting to learn about them. I really enjoyed the conversation with Zak and I enjoy hearing about your son's latest work. Thanks for all of the sharing. Sarah in Houston
Glad I found you!

Discovered this Craftcast while searching for design related podcasts. I really enjoyed Alison's interview with Holly Becker from Decor8. Super interesting, revealing & inspiring! As Arnold would say, "I'll be back".
My favorite Craft Podcast!

I have subscribed to many of the podcasts out there and this is by far the best. The quality is so good that it feels like I am in the same room. And Alison? What can I say, she speaks to us like she is an old friend who just stopped by for a chat. She does not read from a script, just talks about the craft life, books to read, movies to see. And the people that she interviews come alive with their enthusiasm and knowledge. A great podcast - I look forward to each and every one.
Still loving this podcast!

Alison talks to a wide variety of people involved in many different aspects of crafting, art, design and creativity. Even if you don't find one specific topic relevant, the next one could be just for you. And the conversation is always entertaining, whether she is talking with a guest, sharing about a book she is reading or encouraging all of us to get busy crafting.
