Podcast episode 6: Artist, crafter, maker… What’s the difference? with David Michael Lee
This week on the Dear Handmade Life podcast we share our recipe for a Bees Knees Cocktail and talk to director/curator/artist/teacher David Michael Lee about whether creatives need to define themselves, how they define themselves and what those definitions mean. The language we use to talk about who we are and what we do is adapting as the creative movement grows and more people are turning their creativity into businesses. We’ll also talk about how to support the arts when you’re on a budget, what it takes to make a living in the arts and how to break down stereotypes in the art world.
