QOF Episode 54 - Artist Clara Nartey

Thank you so much for tuning in to this week's episode. For many years after I learned how to sew and make clothes I religiously followed patterns. Whilst I was making them my own by choosing my fabrics I wouldn't have thought of myself as creative. When I started learning about pattern drafting and later, fashion design I realised that we are all creative but we just don't always know how to recognise and nurture our creativity. I wanted to find a guest that could explain how we can connect with our creativity and that led me to the talented Clara Nartey.Clara is an artist, an entrepreneur and a coach. She creates the most magnificent and colourful textile artworks and through her teaching and coaching shares her own process with others to help them share their creativity with the world.In this episode you will hear:&gt; Clara's background and how she reached where she is today&gt; How she raised the money for her first sewing machine&gt; Her approach to learning how to quilt&gt; How she became such a successful textile artist&gt; Her tips on developing your own creativity&gt; Where many people go wrong in their creative process and how to avoid it&gt; The two types of creative mindset and how to use them to your advantage&gt; The next steps you can take to boost your own creativityIt was a delight to talk to Clara and I learned so much from our chat plus we got to laugh a lot too!
