Ep 54: Christina Michie - Creative Castings - When Life Changes in an Instant, Allowing Curiosity to Take the Wheel, & Balancing Multiple Interests

Christina Michie has wax and molten silver running through her veins. An accomplished metalsmith, her curiosity to learn as much as she could about the craft led her to wax carving and casting. Initially for herself, but she quickly discovered that other jewelers wanted to purchase her castings to incorporate in their work and Creative Castings was born. 

I really enjoyed talking with Christina and hearing her enthusiasm for the craft and for learning. We talk about the impact of personal experiences on creativity and the challenge of balancing multiple creative pursuits. Christina shares her insights on navigating social media, reducing overwhelm with good organization and focus, finding her niche in the jewelry industry, and managing burnout.
