Jackson’s Art Podcast

The ‘Jackson’s Art Podcast’ brings together ‘Ask An Artist’ and more ideas and conversations from across the Jackson’s Team. The Podcast explores what it means to make art through the voices of established artists and the materials they use. Every month, we share stories and expertise from those who create, be they contemporary artists or historical figures. To encourage curiosity and invite dialogue, we take listeners out of the gallery and into the spaces where art is made, shaped, and brought to life.

Our podcast consists of three distinct series: ‘Ask an Artist’, ‘The Matter of Colour’, and ‘Rivalries and Friendships in Art History’.

In ‘Ask an Artist’, Lisa Takahashi hosts insightful conversations with guest artists in their studios and at exhibitions and events, capturing both their practice and the atmosphere around their work.

‘The Matter of Colour’, presented by Evie Hatch, co-creator of Jackson’s Pigment Stories Book and online series, explores the fascinating histories of artists’ colours from antiquity to the present day.

In ‘Rivalries and Friendships in Art History’, Louise Reynolds and Evie Hatch uncover the clashes, romances, and companionships that shaped artists’ lives, revealing the human stories behind art history.

Recorded during the lockdown, apologies for the sound quality!
By its very nature, being an artist generates work. The things that your artistic practice is channelled towards. You may be able to sell everything that you do, but more likely there will be works that need to be stored - and catalogued.

Ask an Artist Paperwork and Administration May 15, 2020

Show notes

Recorded remotely (and with a few technical difficulties...sorry!) during our isolation.
It is unlikely that there are many artists who embark on their careers thinking "I'd really like to be doing something that generates lots of adminstration", but inevitably thast is what will happen. Peter and Laura discuss in this episode, how they deal with book-keeping, calendars, e-mails and all the other paperwork that being a professional artist throws up.

Ask an Artist, making and selling Greetings Cards May 08, 2020

Show notes

This episode was recorded remotely (and with a few technical issues!) whilst we are all in isolation.
Greetings cards can be a useful additional revenue stream if you are an artist whose work lends itself to being reproduced in this way. Laura and Peter talk through their very different responses to Greetings cards: Laura embraces them as a significant part of her business whilst Peter (quite rightly) does not see how they would fit into his work as a commissioned portrait artist. However a little lateral thought may change his mind!

Ask an Artist, Buying Art Materials May 01, 2020

Show notes

Peter and Laura give their views on buying art materials. What is important? is it the price, is it the service, is it the quality of the materials themselves? That might sound a little basic, but it really does depend on what you are doing and where your work is likely to end up!

Ask an Artist - Online Teaching Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

Prompted by the extraordinary situation during the Covid 19 pandemic Laura and Peter have explored different solutions to remain connected with their respective audiences. Today's podcast is not specifically about crisis management, it is more about how the crisis can be seen as a reason to think about new ways of working, in particular using the inherent creativity that we have as artists laterally to solve other problems.

Ask an Artist - Framing and Presentation of Your Work Apr 17, 2020

Show notes

This episode was recorded before the restrictions imposed due to COVID-19
Selling 2D art often comes with the additional responsibility of framing and presentation, adding that finishing touch to your work.

Peter and Laura have dragged the Talented Mr B out from behind his sound desk again to discuss different ways of getting your work looking its best.
