Grrl Collective

Here we are in lockdown, podcasting from our homes into yours. It’s a bit shakey, we recorded a zoom and then our brilliant editrix @callmefi evened out the squeaks and boinks. We three amigas talk about the effects of the pandemic on our plans and sales, how we keep going and we even brainstorm ideas for product and activities which might give you some ideas too! There’s a guest interview with the super, smart Rick Chapman who gave us some practical advice on managing our businesses in a crisis.

Amidst much giggling, some seasonal coughing and an unscheduled geek out about paints, this month we unpack Black Friday, write our Christmas Lists and tackle how to decide if seasonal markets will work for you. There’s even a blooper reel at the end. In this fun conversational podcast, the three amigas get together to figure out how to follow their creative dreams, value their work, run their businesses, and approach their customers with confidence. Have a guess who’s planing to go super large in 2020, who bought herself an early Christmas present and which Grrl would be happy with a voucher in her stocking? If you want to give us a pressy, please rate, follow and share us here and @grrlcollective on insta. Thankyou we will be back in the spring with more laughing and chat and less coughing!

Creatives Emily J. Taylor (illustrator and character designer), Fi Williams (jewellery designer) and Lu David (fabric designer and print maker) try to nail down creative process, the tyranny of social media and making art for money. Emily reassures us that it’s about engagement with our creativity rather than producing soul shaking art. Unless you want to! Fi handles being short on time and Lu shares a time management technique called Tomato. Or does she? Join these three fun, genuine, chatty creatives as they share the magic of getting together as a collective, tackling it all head on and sorting it out. Frank, interesting, silly fun.

We are Grrl Collective, three creatives who meet regularly for discussion and support, for food and a giggle. This trailer is just the beginning of our creative explorations as podcast content creators. Meet Lu David, surface designer, printmaker and thinky doer behind Luliloves. Fi Williams, smart gen tech genius and jewellery designer of the gorgeous CallMeFi Accessories and Emily Taylor, talented illustrator, artist, graphic and character designer who creates the adorable characters Ejits and can be found at Bristol Graffiti festival Upfest.
