✨ FREE Handmade Business Toolkit: www.createandthrive.com/start...
Laurie Caffery grew up in Boone, North Carolina, a small town surrounded by the peaks and valleys of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Encouraged by her creative parents - a painter mom and a custom home designer and builder dad, Laurie spent her childhood enthusiastically exploring different mediums, primarily painting and drawing.
Laurie received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in ceramics in 2014.
Her artwork is exhibited and collected nationally and internationally.
Currently, Laurie continues to create her narrative-driven, decorative ceramics from her home studio in Asheville, North Carolina alongside her husband, son and dogs.
In this episode we talk about her creative education & journey - and how illustrating on clay happened by accident!
We discuss how she's grown a successful independent business - and how that's enabled her to charge what her work is worth, and grow a following of people who love to collect her work.
Laurie is launching her latest collection the day after this goes live, check out her work right here - 🌿 lauriecaffery.com

💡 WHO AM I?
G'day, I'm Jess!
I started my craft business Epheriell.com as a hobby in 2008 - and in 2010 I went full-time.
I've been 100% self-employed ever since.
In 2013 I also started createandthrive.com to help other makers turn their handmade hobby into a thriving business.
I also love to learn and talk about happiness, health, and how to design a life you love.
