In this fun and entertaining episode, we chat with Jeremiah Houck, the Assistant Director of the Bemis School of Art at Colorado College, to talk about what makes the Springs’ art scene so special, why everyone is artistic (yes, even you), and why giving away your creations might just be the most rewarding part of the process.
Plus, you’ll hear stories of no-hands pottery competitions, how to get your hands dirty even if you don't consider yourself artsy, and so much more.
If you’ve ever said “I’m not artistic,” this episode will change your mind, and maybe even inspire you to try something new.
