Down to a Fine Art Izzy and Anna

This week Izzy and Anna talk to three guests at once! Artists and stone carvers Elle Brown, Emily Roberts, and Sue Rogers discuss their show ‘The Green Cube’ at Potager Garden. They reflect on the benefits of exhibiting outdoors, share their stone carving tips, and consider ideas for the future of ‘The Green Cube’. All artists can be found on Instagram: Elle at @elliebrownartist, Emily at @erobertsarts, and Sue @suerogersstudio.

Join Izzy and Anna as they go into a bit more detail about
their jobs and explore their creative identities alongside. They chat about the organisations they work for, question what aspects of their employment they enjoy, and think about how their practices fit into their wider sense of self.

Today, Izzy and Anna chat about workshops. What makes a good one? What is their purpose? How do you design a workshop? Join them as they consider the answers to these questions by revisiting their past favourites. Music: Ketsa, Still Room On The Night Train available at https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ketsa.

This episode Izzy and Anna celebrate the podcast’s third anniversary with visits from the ghosts of podcast past, present, and future (i.e. they talk about the podcast over the years and think about where it’s going). They’re also doing a call-out for guests so get in contact (@downtoafineart.podcast on Instagram) if you’d like to be involved.

So…rocks. Let’s talk about them.

This episode comes to you two months late (oops) and is all about ego in art. Inspired by a chat in Gabrielle Teaney’s episode, Izzy and Anna have some burning questions. Is ego/confidence helpful, or even essential, to being an artist? Is making something you know you can make well egotistical? Is ego tied to commercial success? Are ‘successful’ artists actually as riddled with imposter syndrome as the rest of us? Is ego even bad?!
