The Master in the Metal with Benjamin Ripley

Joining us this week is the silversmith, Benjamin Ripley! In this conversation we cover the intimate and high risk process of crafting beautiful and expensive jewelry. From this foundation we explore ultimately what it takes to maximize your artistic output while first and foremost taking care of yourself. From navigating the dreaded 'pit' of feeling uncreative, to balancing the other elements of your life, to working with clients on a project that is then going to be used as a spiritual talisman to navigate rites of passage. It's a really meaty conversation that is relevant to anyone pursuing an artistic endeavor.
