Inside The Art of Making
A podcast about what it takes to make great shows, experiencs, art and products.
A home for anyone who wants to learn about doing creative and artistic work.
The ability to create is one of our most distinctive and wonderfully human capacities. Whether we find ourselves answerless and unsure of what to do in a given situation, or we want to be entertained and inspired: it's this ability that we draw on. But the process of 'making', ie going from nothing to something, isn't just an endeavour for the gifted few. It requires passion, dedication and often a great team, to make things happen. Inside the Art of Making, is a love letter to this creative process.
In the first set of episodes, we'll explore the experiences and the personalities of people doing creative work in the arts and media. From musicians, film/tv execs, product designers, writers and game developers to those on the operational and business side of the process, all working to inspire and entertain the world, whilst trying to make a living at the same time.
Follow, as they share their stories.

Lakwena, Artist
I talk with an old (but still young!) friend, Lakwena Maciver about her work as an artist. She's well known for murals, installations and brand collaborations (H&M, Mini).
We talk about the immediacy of painting, boundaries and how these can be helpful to creative work. A good part of our conversation centres on what it's like being a mum, and doing creative work at the same time, the differences between women and men, and what it means to shape culture as an artist.
