I recently met Miranda Aisling Hynes at a event called Makers Monday at the Artist's Asylum in Somerville, MA. The event itself is sponsored by Miranda's Hearth, an Organization founded by Miranda with the mission of bringing people together around doing creative work and building relationships. Maker's Monday is one of a number of recurring, monthly event's run by Miranda's Hearth members (aka. Embers). Other monthly events include a potluck dinner, a waltz night (often with live music), book club gatherings, a creative writing night, and more.. Talking with Miranda that night I became intrigued by her philosophy on art and making, and sensed a potential connection with what she is doing and my own explorations around the concept of Poiesis. Miranda studied fine art painting during her undergrad years and went on to earn a masters in Community Art Education from Lesley University. In this episode Miranda shares many useful insights on a range of topics including:
- the creative process
- the notion of Art vs. making
- how to build relationships
- entrepreneurship for artists and makers
- and more...
