Power of Multiples: Savanna emphasizes the transformative impact of working with multiples in her ceramic art. By creating small parts and combining them, artists can overcome limitations like kiln size and produce larger, impressive pieces. She relates this approach to her drawing background where small marks build up over time to form an image. This method also allows viewers to appreciate the art from different perspectives and scales. 2. The Importance of Time: Savanna underscores the value of time for artists, not only in terms of crafting their art but also in terms of personal well-being. By setting boundaries and ensuring they don't overextend themselves, artists can maintain their creativity and avoid burnout. She also stresses the importance of dedicating time to experiment and play in the studio, which can lead to failure but also new learning and growth. 3. Embracing Variety: The ceramic artist encourages artists not to limit themselves to one style or medium. She shares her own experience of juggling multiple artistic pursuits, from sculptural to functional pottery, to painting. Savanna advocates for giving oneself permission to explore and experiment with different art forms, as they can inform and enrich each other. Her collaboration with a ballet dancer serves as a unique example of such cross-medium experimentation. and so much more   Get your 53 themes by clicking this link shapingyourpottery.com/53themes [https://shapingyourpottery.ck.page/6808d5415e] Rate, Review, and Follow  "This podcast helps stretch you creatively…and find your "voice" in your work." >...  please consider rating and reviewing my show!
