What do we do if we get blocked in the studio? It's the absolute worst feeling and we all occasionally come down with this fever plague. I'll look at some books, some artist-to-artist tips, explore the strangely-relevant history of sugar packets, mule labor and much more to give us some tips for busting through any annoying walls that have dared to spring up around our creativity.

Books mentioned: "Creative Block" by Danielle Krysa, "Wired to Create" by Scott Barry Kaufman and Carolyn Gregoire, "On Art and Mindfulness" by Enrique Celaya, "Your Creative Brain" by Shelley Carson

Artists mentioned: Agnes Martin, William Blake, Louise Bourgeois, Claude Monet, Shannon Rankin, Fiona Ackerman, Hollie Chastain
