Description
As siblings growing up together in seacoast New England and now from opposite sides of the Atlantic, we - Corinne Cunningham and Toby M. Schreier - have listened to and supported each other through the ups and downs of our artistic endeavors. We thought you might like to listen in on some of our conversations about creativity and process, and so we created this podcast: Ink from the Embers, Musings on the Roots and Growth of Creativity.

In this episode, we dive into the launch of Corinne’s Ko-fi project. From there we talk about starting projects without knowing what the finished product will look like, some of Toby’s experience playing live music at his art show, and how a mix of skill levels can make for interesting conversations and learning opportunities.

In this episode, we talk about hobbies and secondary outlets of creativity. Corinne expands on her knitting and Toby shares about his music. We also go into how our hobbies inform our work. There’s a conversation about experts, breaking the rules, processes, and the freedom to try other ways of doing things. Links: James Gurney […]
“What is it saying now, what does it mean?” We start off talking about Toby’s etching adventures and end up in a conversation on working with prompts, oracle cards, and our art as mental momentum, and how conversations with our muse or the universe can inform our work. We dive into tarot cards, generative music, […]
We’re back! In this mini-season of Ink from the Embers, we recorded our conversations in person from the cabin on the family property in the woods of Maine. Episode one brings a conversation about what we each worked on and went through in 2022, and what we’re looking forward to in 2023 with our work. […]
In our final episode of Season Two, we answer your questions and share some of your comments. There’s a discussion on how to live with your creative work alongside your daily life and roles outside of creativity. We touch on our favorite and least favorite aspects of our work, what our biggest challenges are, and […]
Episode Eleven: Walking Nature is a key element of both of our processes, and in this episode we talk about another aspect of being in nature: walking. From taking inspiration from, to gaining meditative practices, for mental and physical health, and for connecting to self, we talk about it all. We also go into how […]
How many times in one episode can we say the word ‘deadline’? That’s the question for today! In this episode we do a deep dive into deadlines, what our relationships are with them and why, how our evolution with them has happened, and soft vs. squishy vs. hard deadlines. And of course, there’s more to […]
As the title of this episode suggests, we’re talking about goals: how we make them, how to break them down, what our goals are for 2022, all the while keeping curiosity and growth in the forefront of our minds. We talk about making measurable goals, but also unmeasurable enrichment mindsets. Would you mind sharing with […]
The topic of old work takes us from the practical – archives, digital storage, physical copies – to the reflective. We also talk about biography, how knowing about an artist’s past influences the way we look at their work, and how with social media we can connect with and feel like we know present day […]
In part two of our retreat special, we talk together about our separate experiences. We break down what worked, what didn’t, what challenges came up, what we might do differently next time, and what our big takeaways from the experience were. Heads up if you have little ones around, occasionally some colorful language slips into […]
Welcome to our two part special: Retreats. In early November we took retreats together, but separately. Toby headed to a museum to paint for five days, Corinne took to her family cabin for three days. This first episode contains our audio diaries. They hold our hopes and expectations, daily thoughts, and revelations. Next week we’ll […]
In this raw and revealing episode, we talk about community… and then talk about how we talked about community… and then again we talk about talking about what we talked about. This is a long and winding one, so we hope you’ll stick with us through this episode, as we both believe it was beneficial […]
In episode four, we talk about the conversations, challenges, benefits, and our experiences with partnership and collaborations. From the need to sit with and work through discomfort, to learning how to trust our own voices as part of a collaboration, to working through expectations (known and unknown), we dive deep into what it means to […]
As two introverted creatives, we come to this topic as two people who need solitude as a part of our lives, as well as our creative process. Solitude is a full and nuanced topic, and in this episode we try to dive into the nuance and layers of the concept. We talk about how for […]
