Beth Bailey, a local artist from Whitman, Massachusetts (who is passionate about using art to build community connections!), joins Larry and Lindsay on the ninth episode of Deep Dives & Light Laughs. Beth shares her artistic journey that began in childhood, leading to dual BFA degrees in Painting and Community Art Education from MassArt. We learn all about Beth's studio practice as a potter - what goes into making pottery, how color is incorporated (this part blew us away!), and where her inspiration comes from. Her pottery is available for purchase at Levitate in Marshfield and Hingham, Clay Lounge in Boston, and In Good Company Shop in Southie. She also talks to us about Creative Pathways, a community arts program she directs and runs, which evolved from her personal sketchbooks into a collaborative effort that engages various communities. We dig into Beth's beliefs around "intuitive art-making" and everyone's inherent creativity and try to convince Larry that he, too, could become an artist if he wanted to! Additionally, Beth is looking to connect with community groups or organizations interested in participating in the Creative Pathways project. If any listeners know of groups that might be a good fit, please reach out to her directly.To learn more about Creative Pathways and Beth, follow her on Instagram @bethbaileypottery and @creativepathwaysproject.
