Izzy and Anna take a tour of Tate St Ives’ current exhibition, ‘Ithell Colquhoun: Between Worlds’. They give a brief overview of Colquhoun’s life and the exhibition itself before discussing their favourite and least favourite pieces, and how Colquhoun’s work relates to their own practices. This episode is sadly not sponsored by Tate (although perhaps that is for the best…). The exhibition is on until 5th May 2025 – you can read more about it here: https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-st-ives/ithell-colquhoun-between-worlds.

Cornish Maids
This month, Izzy and Anna head over to Wharfside Art Hub in Penzance and are joined by curator and photographer Fran Rowse for another live episode. Set amongst the exhibition, Cornish Maids, they talk to Fran about how she curated it, the history of the project, Fran’s background, and the women and girls that make up this incredible community. You can see Fran’s work on Instagram at @franrowse_ or online at www.franrowse.com. To see more of Cornish Maids, check out @cornishmaids_ on Instagram.

Finding the point
Izzy and Anna are back for yet another art therapy session. What begins as a very chaotic episode soon turns surprisingly coherent - they talk about building sustainable habits, the chicken and egg of applications, taking the pressure off making work, finding ways to keep the mystery, and collage. Artists mentioned are Liv Gravil (former Down to a Fine Art guest!) and Mire Lee. The collages Anna mentions are on her Instagram (@anna.harris.art), posted on 2nd February 2025.

This is not about scaffolding
In this episode, Izzy and Anna talk about structure (not the scaffolding kind). How do they structure their days/weeks/months/brains? How do they balance routine and spontaneity? How do they choose what to prioritise in their lives? Tune in to find out. Music: Ketsa, Still Room On The Night Train available at https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ketsa

Here we go again
It’s a new year, which can only mean one thing - it’s time for some new intentions. Join Izzy and Anna as they reflect on the year gone by and look towards the year to come. You can expect therapy content, words of wisdom, gentle parenting, and an unexpected Kermit face. Music: Ketsa, Still Room On The Night Train available at https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ketsa
Join Izzy and Anna, two slightly overwhelmed Falmouth Uni Fine Art graduates, as they try to understand the world of art. With the help of an occasional guest, they cover everything from technical advice to creative pressures, offering some honesty, transparency and reassurance for others in similar positions. Along the way they touch on deep time, capitalism, social media, vampirism, their favourite artists (Rachel Sussman 4eva), and throw in some fun science vibes for good measure.
