Ep 623: Side Sauntering with Melisa of MWY Pottery

Send us Fan MailAs makers, many of us feel pressure to choose between our creative passions and a more traditional career - but what if that's a false choice entirely? What if taking your craft seriously doesn't require abandoning a career you are equally passionate about? Melisa's journey from taking her first clay class as a 40th birthday gift to creating what she calls a "side saunter" shows us how blending our different worlds can actually make both richer. Could embracing your own pace and connecting your creative work to the career you already had be the key to building a sustainable making practice that enhances rather than competes with all of life’s other demands?Melisa's work can be found @mwypotteryFeatured in this episode:  Check out our Community member, Alisha's work @alishahagenart---Looking for support in building your own creative life?
