The Artist’s Well – an idea which began during lockdown as a vehicle of curiosity and community on Saturday mornings for artists, art students and enthusiasts, grew into an extraordinary and valuable source of information, inspiration and connection for artists of every level all over the world. Detailed within are over 50 visits with intimate and revealing conversations with painters, ceramicists, sculptors, gallerists, poets, writers, composers, singers, musicians, actors, film makers and photographers who share their stories and insights, their studio set-up and often times reveal their artistic and creative ‘secrets’. An unusual feature of the book draws you from the page and into the complete interview by means of QR codes leading to The Artist’s Well video of each featured artist.
