Crafting Your Career with Naomi Clement 

Join ceramic artist and educator Naomi Clement for an honest, no-nonsense look at building a creative career that actually works for you. Drawing from 25+ years in clay (including an 8-year break when she thought she’d given up on art entirely), Naomi will share her top 10 tips for navigating the business side of creativity without losing your artistic soul. 

This isn’t about generic “follow your dreams” advice. It’s the real-world guidance Naomi wishes she could give to her younger self — the kind of practical wisdom that can save you years of frustration and help you build a career that feeds both your creativity and your bank account. 

Because here’s the thing: being an artist is a viable career. But nobody teaches you how to make it work. 

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your existing practice, this session will give you strategies for the path ahead.
