As a member of the Canadian Jewellers Association and Craft Ontario, I'll give you an unfiltered look at how art is created, studio techniques, and design thinking in each episode. Live every week from my artist’s studio on the St. Lawrence River in South Eastern Ontario Canada, Cannabis Goldsmith is a solo deep dive into art & design in all its forms. We explore everything from clearing evil spirits from your studio, to marketing and selling your own art.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T04:20:54.280643+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cannabis-goldsmith-a-show-about-art-and-design-6571502"},"episode":{"title":"There Is Another Way: Making Art Without Social Media","slug":"there-is-another-way-making-art-without-social-media","published_at":"2026-07-08T12:40:04+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cannabis-goldsmith-a-show-about-art-and-design-6571502/there-is-another-way-making-art-without-social-media","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cannabis-goldsmith-a-show-about-art-and-design-6571502","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cannabisgoldsmith/episodes/There-Is-Another-Way-Making-Art-Without-Social-Media-e3lqhe6","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/dad6ceac/podcast/play/122553222/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-8%2F427580738-44100-2-16c487a7f4a21.m4a","summary":"I hate social media, and I know you do too. As artists, we are being abused by social media platforms' billionaire, bunker-dwelling owners who shape, control, and monetize our art while giving nothing back. I've had enough of it. In this episode, I describe how I am refusing to use social media as the destination for my art. Instead, people will have to come to my website to see it. I am even putting extra effort into making it unshareable on social media. Why? Because I don't want deodorant ads running across my art while others monetize it. I am not even going to host my documentary series on YouTube because I have made a political decision not to host the videos on U.S.-owned platforms because they support the psychotic Trump government. As artists, we should stand up for our principles, improve the quality of our art, and protect it from tech-bro abuse and monetization. If my work becomes obscure because of this decision, that's fine, because I have never been happier about any decision in my life.
