Blog postUPDATE 1 July 2020: Bluprint classes have been acquired by TN Marketing, which is an online platform for video classes. The announcement indicates that students will retain access to their classes, and I believe that instructors will continue to be compensated for their work. Details are forthcoming. For now, the key news is that though the Bluprint platform will be closing this summer, classes will be moved to a new platform and students will retain access. You are, of course, still more tha

Blog postI mentioned a couple of podcast episodes ago that in the aftermath of the ukulele-is-the-patriarchy incident, my husband and I decided in a moment of madness that we’d like to start a klezmer band in our living room, yeah?
Well this week I had my first fiddle lesson. And it was amazing. (The lesson was amazing; the sounds I am producing on the violin are not amazing.)
This whole musical adventure has me thinking about craft, and how my desire to play folk music rather tha -
Blog postI had seven minutes of relative quiet for recording, and I tried to make the most of it. Featuring: me, playing the violin, very badly. (And some crochet for challenging times.)

Blog postWe’re gonna be in this for a long while, dear listeners. We’ll be experiencing waves of grief over a long time. So it’s time to focus on tiny joys, and on how our creativity can help us create some of those joys for ourselves.

Blog postTime is so weird right now. It’s movings so slowly, and so distantly, so fluidly. There are no good words for it, really, but I think we can all agree we’re living in a Twilight Zone.
In “normal” life, I talk with folks a lot about finding and making time for creativity and creative projects in our daily lives.
But when time is all screwed up, and when we may feel inclined to think we have way more of it on our hands than we actually do, does the challenge of fitting in creati -
Blog postWe’re nine days into self-quarantine because the last person we saw before going into self-isolation last Monday called a few days later to tell us he’d been exposed. In many ways, this isn’t any different an experience than what we’d been expecting, except we can’t go shopping for groceries and the like. Which, at this point, actually seems like a massive difference. My kingdom for a change of scenery beyond what we get walking the dog.

Blog postMy friend Erin has been keeping me sane these last few days that have felt like centuries.
She’s a new friend. We’ve only known each other for a few months. But meeting her felt like we were always meant to be friends, and we started texting each other daily pretty much from the start. So in these days when I’m thinking about all the folks whose friendships I’ve taken for granted and whom I haven’t spoken with in ages, I’m also taking solace in the habit Erin and I made from the start -

Show Notes Each episode this season begins with a short clip of a maker or artist talking about a recent project they were obsessed with. I recorded all of these in April of 2019 at Camp Thundercraft, a retreat for creative businesspeople held each spring and hosted by the folks behind Urban Craft Uprising. I’m very excited to be going back -
Blog postI tried so many creative challenges and failed at every single one. In this week’s podcast, hear about what I changed in my approach that finally led me not only to succeed at finishing a challenge, but that enabled me to establish a daily creative practice that didn’t stress me out but made – and continues to make – me so happy.
