Do you have a studio based art business? If so, my conversation with Meri Cherry will be a game-changer for you. She doesn’t just offer strategies on filling your classes or how to decide what art to create–she goes much, much deeper.
We chat about how to know if you’re ready to expand, and at the same time, how to slow down.
We talk about the bigger issues of running a studio program for students: intention, environment, energy…all the good stuff!
And of course, we talk about her new book, Play, Make, Create: A Process-Art Handbook.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
– What Meri’s journey of growing and expanding has looked like
– How you, too, can be ready for that next step
– Where to begin transforming, scaling, and growing
– Why word of mouth advertising and the power of ‘moms’ is so important to your success
– How your environment will become your third teacher

My best advice for teaching art to kids.
Yes, the day has come!
After a long time deciding if, I finally said when.
Thank you SO much for your encouragement, show suggestions and help getting Art Made Easy off the ground.
Many of you were so pumped about this show but confessed that you had no idea what a podcast was. I love you guys for your unbridled enthusiasm.
Here’s a quick definition of a podcast & what to expect from Art Made Easy:
A podcast is a free radio show. The host (me!) interviews guests or talks about a favorite subject. You get to listen through your computer, laptop or smart phone. I like to listen to my favorite podcasts in my car during long travel days or on my walks via set of ear buds and my iPhone.
You can subscribe to the show via iTunes and Stitcher radio. The benefit is that your free podcast ap on your iPhone will automatically be updated with all the podcast episodes from any show you subscribe to.
Go ahead and give it a try!
To listen on your laptop or computer, just click the play button in the colored box below.
To listen via iTunes, click on the “play in iTunes” banner and click subscribe.
And now onto the show…
For my first show, I wanted to tell you my story of how I became an art teacher. We all have different paths and this one is mine. I’ll share advice to those who are just starting out as an art teacher and some of my best tips for teaching art to kids.
This episode is for anyone who thinks they may not have the qualifications to be an art teacher. Teaching art to kids doesn’t have to happen inside a classroom. You can teach art at home, at a summer camp and even as a volunteer (like I did).
If you are an art teacher just beginning your journey, I’m sharing my best advice to get you through that tough first year. Download my free handout and keep it in your teacher planner and refer to it when you have a tough day.

What a wonderful conversation, so honest and open and a wealth of information. I really appreciated it!

Helpful interview and info. DSS went hand in hand with other challenging factors and encouragements to push me to recently start some workshops from our home.
Trying to figure how best to use the space and how much to push for more students and classes are challenging concepts, let alone actually doing well prepared sessions on a workshop day.
In answer to prayers and a solid and involved friend support, we’ve begun with 4 students (outside of our own children) and another family for the future.
It’s been such a treat – to plan, get to know these families, lead the classes, see the results, anticipate more!
The interview has a helpfully balanced approach of encouraging going forth with hopes and goals, yet to walk in a timely and patient fashion. To enjoy the current stage and allow development time, while being atune to the people and climate around, before stepping bigger is stabilizing advice.
Many thanks for good work from Patty and the kind sharing from Meri! Eager to keep implementing good plans, serving families in the art arena, and looking toward future possibilities – what a great opportunity to be able to honor our Creator in the art of His shared world!
