Trust Yourself - Do The Work First, Worry About...

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2026/02/02

Today’s episode is with the extraordinary Eva Sajovic, an artist whose art works provoke questions about labour, value, and exchange. We talk about how growing up with her grandma in the countryside in Slovenia shapes not just what she makes, but how she makes it and how that early encounter with political rupture still informs her resistance to spectacle, speed, and extractive systems. We unpack the emotional, ethical, and practical labour beneath participatory work, and talk candidly about

Working Towards Co-representation - Things to Aim...

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2026/01/29

Today we’re getting into co-representation, the realities of working with more than one gallery, and how to navigate it without damaging the relationships you’ve worked so hard to build. You’ve built a body of work that has momentum. You’ve shown commitment to your gallery. You’ve done the shows, the fairs, the dinners, the follow-ups. And now you feel ready to build internationally. Not as a vanity move. Not because you’re bored. But because your work feels ready to travel, and because you

Regulation Is a Creative Skill: Why anxiety keeps...

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2026/01/22

Regulation is a creative skill - Anxiety keeps artists busy but stops them finishing. In the last episode, Ceri talked about the fact that you can't make work from a dysregulated life, that no amount of studio time will compensate for exhaustion, financial stress, unresolved anxiety, or a nervous system that never properly settles. Today, she goes a level deeper explaining why even when life is relatively stable, dysregulation still shows up inside the work itself, which is where a lot of artists

How Collectors Really Make Decisions with Beth Greenacre

2026/01/19

Today I’m joined by the brilliant Beth Greenacre, a curator, advisor, and art consultant whose career has unfolded quietly but powerfully at the centre of the art world. Beth began working with David Bowie in her twenties and went on to oversee the care, exhibition, and eventual sale of his collection, revealing a deeply personal way of looking, collecting and living with art.Since then, she’s built a long-term, trust-led portfolio career advising private collectors, working with artists and

The Studio Won’t Save You: You Can’t Make Deep Work...

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2026/01/15

There’s a romantic idea that if you just shut the door, block the world out, and push through, the work will save you. That you can white-knuckle your way through exhaustion, anxiety, financial stress, hangovers, through everything else falling apart. For a while, maybe you can - willpower is powerful, but it is not infinite. Ceri regularly see artists trying to dominate their minds instead of supporting their nervous systems. Trying to overpower negative thoughts instead of changing the conditions

Enchantment as Practice: Making Slow Work in a Fast...

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2026/01/12

Sophie Coryndon learned early that craft is not decoration, but devotion, time, patience, skill, and care. Her work sits confidently outside conventional categories, moving between art and craft, history, and contemporary imagination. This conversation is about enchantment in a disenchanted world, about beauty as a serious subject, about what it means to make work slowly with your hands, at a time when speed and visibility are rewarded above all else. We also talk openly about Sophie's experience

You Can’t Build a Creative Life on Evasion

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2026/01/08

In this episode, Ceri explores the uncomfortable truth at the heart of a sustainable creative life - good mental health doesn’t come from avoiding hard things, but from learning how to move through them. It comes from learning how to deal with them, from building confidence, so that when life feels awkward, lonely, stressful, or uncertain, you won't fall apart or abandon yourself.Yet so many artists quietly organise their entire creative lives around avoiding discomfort. They avoid awkward

The Year You Stop Hiding From the Thing You Want Most

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2026/01/01

I don’t know about you but for me, a new year holds up a mirror. Not the soft one that flatters, but the honest one. The one that shows you the thing you want most and the exact shape of the fear wrapped around it. Today is for artists who are done pretending they don’t know what they want. This is the year you stop hiding from the thing you want most.Let’s make this practical, emotional, and real. Not a manifesto. Not a vision board. A lived year. A designed year. A year where confidence becomes

I wanted to end this year with a simple thing. A thank you. A real one. The kind that comes from the ribs.Because you might not realise how often I think about you when I sit down to plan these episodes. I think about what you’re navigating, what might help, what could spark a shift, or soften a blow, or give you a way through a knotty day. And I’m grateful that you’re here, listening, building a creative life alongside me. It’s been a challenging year for so many of us. We’ve ridden wave after

If you’ve been listening to this festive-season mini-series, you’ll know that in Episode 1 Ceri laid the foundations. The why. The what. The who. The purpose of staging your own event. And in Episode 2 we stepped into the how. The planning. The invitations. The rehearsal. The feedback. The choreography of the night itself.Today, we’re entering the part artists often ignore. The after. Because what happens after your event is often far more important than the event itself. The room empties. The

2025/12/22

Welcome to the second part in Ceri¨s three part miniseries on planning an artist led event. This one's called planning the how turning intention into a structured, soulful artist led event. If you listened to Episode 1, you will remember that everything begins with clarity. The why. The what. Who it is for. What you want to learn. What you want to feel. That foundation changes everything. Without it, an artist-led event becomes a swirl of worry and last-minute decisions. With it, the whole thing

For those of you who are new to the podcast, and for those of you who’ve been listening for a while, thank you for being here. As we reach the edge of the festive season, I wanted to offer you something special. A small gift to carry into the new year. A mini-series on hosting your own events as an artist. Not because the world is begging you to. Not because someone has given you the green light. But because your practice deserves oxygen. Visibility. Conversation. Agency. And because too many

Design Your £40K Year Building Sustainable Art Income

2025/12/15

This is the time of year when the studio hopefully gets a little quieter, inboxes slow down, and we start to take stock. For many artists, that pause comes with a mix of reflection and panic. The question that hangs in the air is: what will next year look like? How will I make it work — not just creatively, but financially?If that thought makes your stomach tighten, you’re not alone. Most artists were never taught how to plan income. We were taught to plan projects. But the truth is, when you take

How to Set Goals That Actually Work for You

2025/12/11

It's that time of year again when we start reflecting on what we've achieved in the year and start thinking and planning for the year ahead. So, I wanted to record something for you on how to set goals that actually work for you.Most artists I know aren’t short on ideas — they’re short on direction. It’s not about working harder; it’s about knowing where your effort will actually count. Every January, or halfway through the year when things start to slide, I hear the same refrain: “I just need

Stop Waiting for the Show and Start Making One

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2025/12/04

Some artists wait for the perfect show to appear, as if the universe will tap them on the shoulder and whisper that it is finally time to finish the work. But the longer you wait, the further away it drifts. Because unfinished work is safe. It stays in potential, where nothing is at risk and everything is still possible. And waiting feels easier than deciding. But waiting is not how shows happen. Finishing is. Ceri explains how to get unstuck, finish your work and finally show it. -- Most

Today I’m speaking with artist Lakwena Maciver, whose glorious work has wrapped electrical substations, transformed the Bowery Wall, brought hope into a juvenile detention centre in Arkansas, transformed Tate Modern and handbags for Dior, all carrying poignant messages of care.All of this stemmed from a child drawing her own name to anchor a shifting sense of identity. Those early gestures became a life’s work centred on hope, connection and the courage to speak into public space without

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2025/11/27

You can’t build a big, brave, creative life if you’re still waiting for permission. In this episode, Ceri talks about the quiet poison of approval seeking, which keeps you performing instead of creating, editing yourself to fit in and please people who might never have seen your work. Or if they do, are too entangled in their own insecurities to applaud it anyway. Ceri explains why so many artists fall into the approval trap and how to get out of it should you be stuck there.

What happens when two sculptors build not just a life together, but a living artwork?In this week’s episode of Extraordinary Creatives, I’m joined by Laura Ford and Andrew Sabin—partners in art and in life—whose decades-long dialogue between material, imagination, and place has produced some of the most distinctive sculpture in Britain today. Their story is one of instinct, invention, and fearless making. Laura’s work teems with humour, vulnerability, and human emotion—anthropomorphic creatures
