Ivy Newport - Creating Classes and Building An Online Art Community
EPISODE 82
When artist, Ivy Newport, shared her latest abstract creation on Instagram, I knew I had to have her on the podcast! I’ve been following Ivy’s work for a long time and have watched her online community grow and grow.
With thousands of students and a class platform with over 80 classes, it’s fair to say I had some questions!
Things like: How do you approach making classes? What do you do to avoid burnout? Do you have any advice for artists that are just getting started?
Plus we also talk about studio spaces, working with your husband and our mutual love of colour palettes.
This week’s episode is definitely a must-listen if you are interested in online classes - either taking them or making them!
Ivy and her artwork including the abstract piece that inspired this conversation!
