In the 78th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown takes listeners to the Penland School of Craft, where she’s participating in their Winter Residency. Leading up to the residency, Sarah had heard from a few fellow artists attending, but overall, she had no idea who she would cross paths with. To her delight, the residency allowed her to meet many artists she’s admired from afar. Among them is the guest for this episode, Lauren Kalman, who has been on Sarah’s interview wishlist for some time. After sharing a few meals, Sarah asked for an interview.

The two women sat down to discuss how Lauren unexpectedly got her first teaching position, the art of negotiation and why it’s a crucial skill, how to sell work when your work is challenging to sell, and how an artist’s work is not always representative of their personality.
