    I look forward to this podcast every week! Julie your interview style is so great and inspirational. You really know how to get the best out of your interviews. I’ve learnt so much and this is my go to when I feel stuck in my creative work or uninspired and just needing some encouragement or motivation to keep going.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Art Friendships with Sam Michelle & Debbie Mackenzie
Q: What drew you to become friends and collaborators, and how did your shared space influence your work?
They describe meeting in a shared space that became a catalyst for a deep connection, allowing them to observe each other's processes closely, support one another emotionally, and push one another toward professional growth.
Inside the Affordable Art Fair with Georgia Huestis
Q: Can you talk me through how the affordable art fair works and the relationship between galleries, artists, collectives, and the fair itself?
The fair is gallery-led, primarily featuring galleries and collectives rather than solo booths; collectives must have multiple artists and a shared vision, and the fair helps connect artists with suitable galleries or collectives while providing a clear hanging plan and booth layout to ensure cohesive displays.
When the Viewer Becomes Part of the Work- with Harriet Schwarzrock
Q: How do you approach viewer interaction during the making of your works, and does it shift over time?
Interaction isn't just a post-hoc effect; while I'm making, the phenomenon inside the vessel guides what happens, and I've moved from blown glass to borosilicate tubing to explore more capacitive, symbiotic relationships between vessels that can glow together.
When the Viewer Becomes Part of the Work- with Harriet Schwarzrock
Q: So for any listeners meeting you for the first time, who are you and how do you describe what you do?
I'm Harriet, a glassblower who works with plasma illumination inside glass vessels, developing a practice that treats plasma as a responsive medium influenced by proximity, touch, and presence, and I draw on physics and philosophy to frame it as a relational art form.
Building a Body of Work With Wendy Marinich
Q: How do you handle building a body of work when ideas evolve or shift during the process?
I follow a clear path but allow intuitive moments to push me forward, testing and expanding the concept while keeping the throughline intact, which helps the work stay cohesive yet dynamic.
