In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman sit down with jeweler Connor Spern. While Connor never considered herself an artist, creativity is in her bones and her desire to play shines through in this interview and her work. It was during the early days of the pandemic when Connor first started playing with polymer clay — or adult playdough as Connor put it — that things really started to take off! Connor has dabbled with embroidery, wood, and acrylic jewelry, too, but polymer clay is her baby. Now, she and her husband are working on 3D printing tools for her own jewelry making and for other makers, too. Find out what’s next for Connor from precious metal clay to teeny, tiny Concord food, and more. Check out Connor’s work on Instagram at www.instagram.com/designsxconnor and Facebook at www.facebook.com/designsxconnorspern and on her website www.designsxconnor.com.As always, come hang out with the Creative Guts team online at www.CreativeGutsPodcast.com and on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/CreativeGutsPodcast and Instagram at  www.Instagram.com/CreativeGutsPodcast

Creative Guts is back with another Creative Guts Zine! The fall 2021 Zine will feature the work of visual artists and writers who have been selected by jury. This time we’re looking for pieces that adhere to the theme of nostalgia. Inspired, in part by a recent interview with the wonderful, talented digital illustrator Jake Romano, the Creative Guts team is feeling nostalgic. Defined as "a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period of place with happy personal associations”, the possibilities are endless with a theme like nostalgia. Submissions are due by 11:59 PM eastern standard time on Sunday, October 24th from artists 18 years and older, from anywhere in the world. We welcome a variety of visual and written works in any medium including painting, sculpture, digital art, printmaking, fiber, photography, mixed media, poetry, and short stories. Written works must be no longer than 500 words. For more details and to submit, visit www.CreativeGutsPodcast.com/zine. The Creative Guts team will be joined by guest juror Mike Durkee, the artist and owner of Durkish Delights Design Co. and member of Creative Guts' Board of Directors. Submission to the Zine is free, however there is a $15 printing and shipping fee if your work is chosen. This fee is non-refundable and can be paid through our website. Each creative featured in the Zine will receive one copy. Physical editions of the zine will be available for purchase, while the digital edition of the zine will be available for free at www.CreativeGutsPodcast.com/zine. If you have any questions, drop us a note at CreativeGutsPodcast@gmail.com.
