60 - trials and collaborations

Let’s talk collabs.  Working together, working together but apart, sharing space, exhibiting with friends, inspiring each other… can it work? Why does it work? …and would you risk your arty friendships to stretch yourself?  We’ve watched our lovely friend artist Bron Jones collaborate with more than one other artist…all hands on engagement and sky high talent. She’s kindly shared her thoughts on the process.  Then good friends of the artchatter podcast, inspirational Sue Bulmer and Sam Waters share sketch books across the miles… so we thought we’d give it a go and coerced our accountability darling @ginabelfordart. We discovered things - about ourselves and each other!  Episode Links:  @bronjonesart @SueBulmer  @samwatersartist @susannahcrookart @ginabelford  @artistintheshed Mary Price   @rachael.johnson20art  @combedownarttrail @camvalleyarttrail About the podcast Gaynor Leverett-Jaques and Karen George are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.
