Introduction + Goals for the month

You’re not just an artist or maker—you’re a whole human behind the work. This prompt is your moment to step out from behind the table, the wheel, or the workbench and say, “Hey, here’s who I am and what I’m focusing on this month.”

Whether it’s your first post or your hundredth, reintroducing yourself helps your community feel more connected to you, not just your work. Share what’s on your mind creatively, personally, or professionally. Maybe you're launching something, trying a new medium, or just aiming to clean your studio (finally). Whatever your goals are, putting them out there makes them feel real—and invites others to cheer you on. So go ahead, show your face (or not), talk about what lights you up, and let people into your world.
