Hayley: What’s the vibe like in your studio?Īmanda: Although this year I'm primarily working from home to be safe, I split my time between working on my kitchen table and a shared studio space on East Colfax called the Art Gym. While making the move to full-time required lots of savings and planning, it helps immensely to take the pressure off if I view it as an ebb-and-flow of where I'm focusing my time and energy in the short term - after a few more years of doing this work maybe I'll feel confident enough to call it my career - or maybe I never will! Either way, I feel so lucky to be able to do what I love right now, especially when the world feels upside down. I think other people sense that enthusiasm too, and eventually it got to the point where I was busier and had more projects going in my jewelry project world than any of my consulting work, so I decided to try Fancy Boheme as a full-time focus. I love being able to take a found object, like a raw piece of turquoise and turn it into something wearable that someone can pass down to their grandchildren. What I lacked, or continue to lack in metalsmithing ability or business acumen has always been outweighed by my enthusiasm for making things with my hands. Gradually, I began to make more and more room for metalsmithing in my life by taking classes to learn a new technique or signing up for an event to see if my pieces were interesting to a broader range of people beyond just my (very supportive!) friends and coworkers. Like so many people, I felt limited by my day job and sought to do something with my hands after a long day of being at a computer.
