Why should you start to build up an email list? Well for one, we can’t rely on social media to reach our existing or potential collectors.

In a week a little squeezed by life admin we take time to explore how we feel about the idea of "keeping up".

This week, we’re talking titles. Yep, that stage when you think the work is complete - and there’s still the process of coming up with a title for your masterpiece.
