The Bad Art Teacher

Arts EN ↓ 2 episodes

For the ones who’ve felt the hum of something deeper in the act of making — The Bad Art Teacher is your permission slip to question it all. What even is “good” art? Who gets to say? And what happens when we stop trying to earn our creativity? A podcast for artists, thinkers, and quiet rebels who’d rather break the frame than fit inside it. Part confession, part critique, part creative reckoning — it’s where we talk about the myths that shape art-making, self-worth, and creativity itself. Hosted by Ember Hill, an artist dismantling the classroom in their head.
