Chaotic Creatives

Rachael is ready to get serious about being an artist; so she and Lauren discuss a common component of presenting yourself as one: a portfolio. When describing your creative work and ambitions, it can be extremely helpful to have a curated selection of pieces to back it up; but many questions arise when attempting to build an online portfolio. In this episode, you’ll gain some insight towards answering those questions for yourself. Is it okay to have one-off works vs a series? How can you focus your practice around certain theme or through-line while allowing yourself to follow all of your curiosities? Listen to learn more!

Lauren sold most of her things in the months leading up to moving back to BK and absorbed helpful lessons around sales, customer service, and communication that she brought back to her business. In this episode she shares these lessons with Rachael and reflects on how they were more easily absorbed when she was selling “stuff” (chairs, furniture, etc) as opposed to her creative work and services.

With a workshop concept locked in, Lauren and Rachael begin developing their idea into a more well-rounded offering. They work through how to provide the most valuable experience for workshop attendees, how to market the event, and what price point will cover costs while making a worthwhile profit for them as hosts. Throughout this phase of planning, they provide nuanced insight on what to consider when tailoring a gathering toward your own goals.
