In this episode of  Creativity: Uncovered, we dive into the long-standing debate: What is the difference between art and craft? Abi Gatling examines why distinguishing between the two is not only unnecessary but can also be a form of gatekeeping that discourages creativity.

We discuss:

  • Traditional definitions of art and craft
  • Societal perceptions
  • The role of social media in promoting crafting
  • The blurred lines between art and craft
  • The impact of labels on creative expression
  • Encouragement to embrace all forms of creativity


Happy listening!
