Resident Artists in Conversation: Emma Housley and Megan Wakelam

09/30/19 • 21 min

During Somerset Art Weeks Festival we recorded a podcast with Tone Talk Audio.
This took place half way through the festival and was a conversation between resident artists Emma Housley and Megan Wakelam.
They talk about their experiences taking part in art weeks, the impact of their bursary and how the landscape of Clayhill has influenced their work.

This is the first in a series of podcasts which explore the ways in which artists work and the journeys they take during their artistic career. Make sure to sign up to our newsletter to be the first to hear about them.

Melody Vaughan: Crafting a Sustainable Practice

Creative Consultant Melody Vaughan joined us for a Sustainability Workshop earlier this year. Whilst she was here we recorded a podcast and had discussions around what sustainability means and how we should be mindful of the processes we use when creating objects.

We also talk about her Sustainability Audit, which offers you some suggestions for thinking holistically about your creative practice, reflecting on how it has been going, and discovering where you would like to take it as you move ahead. It’s a valuable tool to be using at the moment, especially whilst we’ve got a bit of time to stop and reflect. If you’d like to know more about this and the other resources that Melody has created, please visit https://www.melodyvaughan.com/

Melody is offering hour long 1:1 coaching sessions for FREE during April/May/June. If this sounds something you’d be interested in, you can find out more here.

It should be noted that this recording was made in February 2020, when the world was a very different place! *
