   Beyond the Build: Science, Art & Woodworking with Paul Jasper | CMP EP 164

   Join the Creative Makers Podcast LIVE as we welcome Paul Jasper, PhD, of Copper Pig Fine Woodworking for a fascinating conversation where science, art, design, and woodworking collide. Paul is a molecular immunologist and quantitative systems pharmacology scientist whose creative journey has taken him from traditional furniture-making techniques to original design, functional art, mixed media, and collaborative work. His projects include heirloom boxes, serving boards, EDC trays, furniture, decorative pieces, and other creations designed to be both functional and emotionally meaningful. Paul is also a co-host of the provocatively titled podcast Woodworking Is Bullshit, alongside Erik Curtis and Mary Tsai. Despite its name, the show isn’t really about dismissing woodworking—it explores the bigger ideas behind why we create. Topics include creativity, artistic identity, copying versus inspiration, design, psychology, aesthetics, relationships, hustle culture, business, and the search for an authentic creative voice. During this live conversation, we’ll discuss how Paul’s scientific background influences his creative process, what it means to develop your own style, and why woodworking is often about much more than the finished project. Tune in LIVE and join the conversation with Paul Jasper and the Creative Makers Podcast crew! 🪚 Guests: Paul Jasper-Copper Pig Fine Woodworking Instagram: / copper_pig_fine_woodworking Creative Makers Podcast 1.

   The Maine Woodworking Event Recap | CMP EP163

   This week on the Creative Makers Podcast, we welcome back Brandon Smith of Cross & Miter and Hunter Locke of Black Tenon Furniture, the organizers behind The Maine Woodworking Event, for a full post-event recap. When Brandon and Hunter joined us before the event, we talked about the vision behind bringing woodworkers, makers, brands, educators, and content creators together in Maine. Now they’re back to tell us what actually happened. We’re getting into the moments that exceeded expectations, the things that didn’t go according to plan, what they learned about organizing an event of this size, feedback from attendees and vendors, and what they would do differently next time. We’ll also look at the bigger question: Where does The Maine Woodworking Event go from here? Expect stories from behind the scenes, lessons learned the hard way, what surprised Brandon and Hunter most, and an early look at what the future could hold for one of the woodworking community’s growing in-person events. If you attended The Maine Woodworking Event, we want to hear from you. What was your favorite part? What would you like to see next year? Drop it in the comments and join the conversation. 🪚 Guests: Brandon Smith — Cross & Miter Hunter Locke — Black Tenon Furniture 🌲 The Maine Woodworking Event: themainewoodworkingevent.com Creative Makers Podcast 1.
