SUMMARY:Showing Up Before You’re Ready
DESCRIPTION:Learn how showing up imperfectly can lead to connection\, opportunity\, and a creative practice that people come back to! \nSmall Fry are hosting an honest talk with printmaker and illustrator\, Meg Fatharly\, on her own experience around building a creative life before you feel confident\, qualified\, or certain it will work. Through growing her own personal global audience\, she has captured the attention of renowned brands such as V&A and Fortnum and Mason’s. \nThe talk will include Meg’s creative journey\, touching on her growth as an artist on and off social media\, and how her analogue world has often overlapped with her digital presence. \nThis event is for creatives\, illustrators\, and designers looking to learn how to share work authentically online\, avoid burnout\, and build a sustainable practice. \nTicket Information \nEarly Bird £25 (limited) \nStandard £30 \nFind out more and book your ticket here.
