Lifting the Lid: Gatekeeping in Arts and Crafts Ep #3
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why is Powertex still a secret? In this episode of Inside the Studio, I’m diving into the frustrating issue of gatekeeping in the arts and crafts world. You know the kind – when people talk about "mixed media" or "creative workshops" but don’t quite share the specifics of what they’re using. It’s holding people back, and it’s something I’m determined to change.
🎧 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
- How gatekeeping creates barriers, makes resources seem more complex and intimidates beginners.
- Why I believe sharing knowledge is essential for building a supportive creative community.
- How Powertex – the ultimate tool for mixed media artists – is accessible, versatile and way too good to keep to ourselves.
Let’s share the joy of Powertex and break down those creative barriers together. Join me for a light-hearted but honest conversation about making art accessible for everyone!
