Sasha Compton, Artist & Designer

In this episode I’ll be talking to British Artist and Designer Sasha Compton, who is internationally recognised for her freehand painting and decorative ceramics. We’ll cover the rituals and habits that nurture creativity; nature as the inspiration and guide; balancing commercial work with self-initiated projects; the importance of structure; finding the ‘why’ to spark ideas and steer direction; and why it makes sense to embrace imperfection. I hope it inspires you in your own creative journey. Episode SponsorThis episode is generously sponsored by Coral + Hive, a studio based in South Africa that creates thoughtful, natural rugs to live beautifully alongside their owners. Every rug begins with the hands and hearts of the weavers – women whose artistry and resilience thread meaning into every fibre.  I love specifying rugs from Coral + Hive as I know that they are woven with so much care. The studio’s ethos really resonates with Be-Kin’s as Coral + Hive are passionate about a gentler and slower way of life, and their collection is carefully designed to help simplify and create a sanctuary feeling in the home. https://coralandhive.comhttps://www.instagram.com/coralandhiveStay connected: Websiteswww.be-kin.com - please sign up to my monthly newsletter www.wrenloucks.comInstagram: @_be_kin and @wrenloucksCreditsHost & Creator: Wren LoucksProduction, Audio & Editing: Mike Gosling, Bonfire VideoEditorial Production & Research: Alison SmithOriginal Music: Gordon Smith
