Don’t break the chain: Secrets to Staying Creatively Limber with Mary Jo Hoffman
When Mary Jo Hoffman committed to posting a picture a day online, the process became so addictive (and beneficial) that the chain remained unbroken for more than a decade.
During the process, Mary Jo learnt that wild constraints lead to wild creativity, process is more important than product, and reconnecting with nature has value beyond measure.
Mary Jo’s beautiful book STILL: The Art of Noticing is out now.

Welcome to the We Need to Make Things podcast with Tracy Calder
Welcome to We Need To Make Things, a fortnightly podcast that will help you to kickstart your creative practice, stay inspired, and find the confidence to share your work with people who really need to see or hear it.
Why do we make things? Where do ideas come from? How can we overcome creative blocks? What can we learn from criticism? How do we find our voice? Can we really make money from creative pursuits?
If you’ve ever found yourself asking these questions, We Need to Make Things is the podcast you need to kickstart your creative practice, stay inspired, and find the confidence to share your work with people who really need to see it.
Every fortnight, Tracy Calder sits down with artists, writers, scientists, gallerists and other influential experts and asks them to share their stories, tools and strategies for living a creative life so you, too, can make work that matters, for people who care.
