121. Caitlin: (f/m)aking it, finding your voice, and tapping into that inner crow
Caitlin McIver ("mc-EE-ver") is a ceramicist based in Seattle, WA. About a year and a half ago she moved across the country and found the creative love of her life: CLAY. A background in industrial design helped her find her voice in sculpture surprisingly quickly. Now she can't get enough and she's at an inflection point - how do I do more of this and less other stuff??? You can see her work on her website: https://www.cmciver.com/, or her instagram @cmciver.studio.
We talk about:
- your voice comes from places you've been and things you've done
- teachers: resources + connectors + opportunity finders vs. blocked creatives
- people been making pots in pits for 1000s years you're fine (I'm fine)
We mention:
