Powertex Podcast
Welcome to the Powertex Podcast, where creativity meets confidence.
Hosted by Michele Brewer, Creative Director of Powertex UK, this seasons podcast takes you behind the scenes of extraordinary creative journeys. Through honest conversations with artists, makers and members of the Powertex community, you'll discover the stories behind their artwork, the inspiration that shaped it, and the challenges they overcame to bring their ideas to life.
Whether you're an experienced mixed media artist or simply someone who loves creativity, you'll find inspiration in every episode. From personal stories and artistic breakthroughs to practical insights and the courage it takes to create something uniquely your own, this podcast celebrates the people behind the art.
The Powertex Podcast is about far more than techniques and materials. It's about finding your creative voice, building confidence, embracing curiosity and discovering what's possible when imagination is given the freedom to grow.
Join us as we explore the stories, friendships and creative adventures that make every artistic journey unique.
