Welcome to The Curated Craftsmen™, where we’ll explore the hands, head, and heart behind entrepreneurs from a multitude of different creative industries including sign painting, commercial illustration, metal sculpture, automotive paint, leather tooling, and so much more.

My name is Kate Cook, the artistic drive behind Asphalt Canvas Custom Art, and your host for these conversations where we'll learn about art, business, and belief.

As creative professionals, our crafts may be wildly different, but it's my belief that our successes and failures are oddly similar in the realm of entrepreneurship. My hope is that as you work in your creative space alone, these Curated Craftsmen™ conversations teach you, encourage you, and ultimately remind you that you're not alone in your creative ambitions and endeavors.

Great podcast!

Love the podcast, especially since it is so relatable! The show is well structured and thought out. With living in a creators world, it’s hard to stand out, but Kate is doing it with this great show!

Great podcast guys! I like how you discuss the meaning of being a craftsman and don’t necessarily come into it pre-wired with a canned answer. As you grow in this medium, that format will allow your future guests to offer up their own experiences and definitions so that our view(s) will be better shaped because of them. Besides the book of Exodus, I’m also reminded of Nehemiah and all the craftsmen he assembled to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Can’t wait for the next one! 👍🏻
