William Kidd taught high school ceramics for 30 years while simultaneously pursuing his career as a professional artist.

Since childhood, Lisa Kattenbraker has been on "A Mission for Magic" in her artwork and life. Her narrative batiks are expressions of her own experiences, often tinged with nostalgia as she explores her past, her ancestors, her role as a mother and grandmother, and literally sews stories together with ancestral threads.

Often, the viewer brings their unique connection to the work, in which Lisa finds inspiration from meeting the collector whom the artwork was meant for. http://www.lisauntitled.com/ @lisauntitled #batik #artinhomes #legacypieces #lisauntitled #fiberart #artistmother #hippydippy #woowoo #art #artistinspiration #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #indieartspod #artistpath #artistpodcast #artistconversations #artistprocess #workingartist #contemporarycraft #youtubepodcast Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.

Working Artists! You are not alone! Listen to these entertaining and inspirational podcast conversations with working artists. When Christopher Jefferies caught the glassblowing bug in high school, he charted a course that would ultimately result in building his own glass shop by "paying his dues." From working on Dale Chihuly's team to sleeping on the floor of a Czech hot shop, Christopher immersed himself in the fast-paced environment of production glass studios that created hundreds of pieces daily. Once he launched his own studio, his work evolved into multiple-element wall installations on a large scale. Christopher talks about going after those "big fish" on the art festival scene and how he navigates his unique career. https://jeffriesglass.com/ #blownglassart #residentialwallart #lagunabeachglassartist #modernwallart #customglassartdecor #art #corporateart #homedecor #chihuly #glassinstallation #wallglass #studioglassmovement #glassartist #interiorstylehunter #designerwallart #homestaging #crystalglass #sculpture #artistinspiration #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #indieartspod #artistpath #artistpodcast #artistconversations #artistprocess #workingartist #contemporarycraft #artisticvision #youtubepodcast Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.

"Stubborn!" he says, "I don't want to work in a shitty job just to pay for an expensive house. I don't even want to make artwork I don't want to make." Living and working out of a box truck or buying abandoned houses to renovate are ways he feels free. In his pursuit of "choosing a life," Matthew describes how he has adapted his behavior to how his brain works. Discovering as an adult that he experiences ADHD brought into focus the "self-taught mechanisms" he's used to convert "circular thinking to linear thinking." Matthew is an artist who works in various mediums, such as metal sculpture, jewelry, and painting. This conversation shares his experiences with mental health while listening to the universe along the way. https://matthew.works/ #stubbornartist #artistinspiration #independentartist #independentartistpodcast #indieartspod #artistpath #artistpodcast #artistconversations #artistprocess #workingartist #matthewnaftzger #metalsmithing #contemporaryjewelry #getfunky #workworkwork #contemporarycraft #adhdartist #customring #smallsculpture #scifi #dystopiantableware #process #oddities #futureartifact #futurepast #rocket #dystopian #pghartist #morequestions #listentotheuniverse #choosingalife #artistinspiration #starvingartist #artisticvision #youtubepodcast Visual artists Douglas Sigwarth https://www.sigwarthglass.com/ and Will Armstrong http://www.willarmstrongart.com/ co-host and discuss topics affecting working artists.

The experiences from her formative years serve as some of the inspiration for her mixed media work to "push back on the nonsense." In this conversation, Sarah reveals her personal discoveries from meeting her birth family, which affirmed her strong drive towards being an artist. Tune in to this remarkable story from The Charm School Dropout.

The Whitcomb's are both artists working on their own bodies of work in different mediums. Each captures elements of the past presented with a contemporary eye. Mick Whitcomb https://www.artifactsbynomad.com/ is fixated on the American Machine Age and the advent of electric lighting. He transforms 19th-century machines and scientific instruments into utilitarian sculptures. Paige Whitcomb https://www.paigewhitcomb.com/ creates photos using the traditional method of wet collodion photography with an authentic 19th-century studio camera. She creates tintypes to capture a staged fictional world. Her images are the opposite of modern photography; in a society where anyone can take a picture anywhere, her meticulously staged scenes allow the viewer to see the world through the artist’s perspective, which is often an allegorical view of modern culture.
