Being intentional about how we set up our creative spaces can help keep us inspired to make art. In this episode, we suggest ways to make your creative space work for you, explore why creating in solitude might not be necessary for everyone, and why it’s important to not let less-than-ideal circumstances stop you from creating. Robyn continues her creative pause, and Michelle focuses on her album and career.
