Creatives Like Us

In the Season 3 finale of Creatives Like Us I'm joined by Sandra Palmer, a Birmingham-based surreal collage artist. After more than 16 years as a designer in lingerie and swimwear, she began making collages during lockdown. It became a way to slow down, practise mindfulness and reconnect with the creativity she has had since childhood. 
In this episode we talk about why there was never a single moment she knew she was creative, handling imposter syndrome with a simple daily gratitude practice, what success means to her now compared with when she started and much more.
This episode is a little different and is in a blog style, as I read out Sandra's answers. Take a look at this episode on the website to see Sandra's creative work to accompany this podcast episode.

What happens when a pharmaceutical scientist of 20 years decides to swap the laboratory for mixing bowls?
In this episode, Angela Lyons is speaking with Kerry Herbert, founder of My Baking Classroom, who turned her childhood love of baking into a business that now teaches more than 100 children every week.
Kerry combines baking, creativity and education to make learning more engaging and accessible, including resources for children with SEND. She also helps home-educating families turn everyday learning into something a little less boring and a lot more delicious.
We talk about making a career change, rediscovering a creative passion, building a business around what you love and the impact that creativity can have on children. 
It takes a village!

In this episode Angela sits down with Peju Abuchi, known as Peju the Spark, a poetic speaker and therapeutic wordsmith whose mission is healing the world one stage at a time through poetry infused with oratory.
They talk about where Peju's creativity started, why she waited until her mid-40s to take poetry from side hustle to full-time calling and how she now performs spoken word experiences on stages from Malta to Budapest, Dubai and Porto.
The conversation moves through AI and creativity, journaling as a wellness practice, the pressures on young women and girls today and what it really takes to prepare for a stage. Peju also shares what's next, including a second book for young women, a range of quote postcards and an online offering to help people find their voice.

In this episode of Creatives Like Us I sit down with Helen Welch, founder of London Furniture School and a woodworker of 42 years. Helen shares how leaving school early led her to a community carpentry scheme which set the course for her career. We talk about her journey through building control back to making, what it's like being one of the few women and people of colour in craft industries, and why visibility matters so much in changing that. Helen also gets real about business, community and what she'd tell her younger self.
