After a summer long hiatus the EarthArt.TV podcast returns with a new episode and our very special guest Irish multi-disciplinary artist Sean Corcoran.

Sean is the founder and organiser of the Talamh International Land Art Festival, which takes place this year between 16th-24th September. 30+ artists from all over the world are gathering to experience the wonderful natural setting of the Unesco Geo-site called the Copper Coast in Southern Ireland and to create with what they find in nature.

In this episode the EarthArt.TV crew: Julia, Caroline, Rebecca, James, Mark and Richard talk to Sean about the festival and all about the path he followed into creating it and how he expresses his love for nature through his land art.

You can find out more about what Sean and Miranda Corcorran's work over on their page The Art Hand.

This week we are bringing to you what we are calling the "Inspiration Episode", along with the EarthArt.TV crew: James, Caroline and Julia (Mark and Rebecca are unable to join us this week) we are delighted to have on as our very special guest James Craig Page, Director of the European Stone Stacking Championships and the European Land Art Festival.

In part one we chat about people and things that have inspired us and in part 2 James tells the fascinating and inspiration story of how his festivals came about.

Held in Dunbar, near Edinburgh in the second week in July, ELAF and the European Stone Stacking Championships have touched many lives locally and around the globe. It is a free event to attend and is put together by passionate individuals purely for the love of bringing people together and celebration of nature. If you would like to support James and the festival you can purchase a beautiful T-shirt designed by the amazing artist Sterling Gregory from https://elafest.wixsite.com/ or https://www.dunbartshirt.com/ and if you are moved to make a donation it will help go towards the considerable cost of putting on this free family event.

Thank you.

This week we are bringing you a special episode from a holiday cottage in Lancashire, where we are recording together physically in the same room for the first time, as well as the EarthArt.TV crew: James, Caroline, Julia, Rebecca, Mark and myself, we are delighted to welcome our very special guest Jon Foreman also known as Sculpt The World.

During the first part of the episode I talk about the place that we are gathered, how important it is to me as an artist and how it is been a great catalyst in my art career.

Then the conversation turns to how everyone else began their art careers, what inspired them and the paths they've trodden to get to where they are now.

We talk about education, mental health, how creativity is everyone's birthright and we answer some questions sent in by our valued listeners.
