Blowing our own trumpet: marketing! (24)

Marketing is a key part of any business - including being an artist - but thinking about "marketing" can seem very dry and dull, and make you want to run for the hills. Maybe there's a different way to look at it?  Welcome to our podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles. Isobel and Gina are both practicing artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we’re still figuring it all out! We chat about combining the creative process with running a business and hope that you will find inspiration and support for your own creative journeys.
