There's a particular kind of person who sees a wall not as a finished surface, but as a beginning. For architects, designers, builders, and artists working with plaster and other narrative coatings, the craft is a language in itself. The Aggregate by New Age Artisans is a space for that global community, hosted by Jeremy Mistretta alongside Vincent Ryan. The conversations here move beyond simple tutorials, digging into the shared techniques and deep knowledge that fuel true creativity. You'll hear from practitioners who are reshaping their fields, not just through skill, but through a philosophy of open education and empowerment. This podcast serves as a regular dose of inspiration and practical insight, a place to recharge and remember why you started working with your hands in the first place. It’s about the stories embedded in the materials and the people who dedicate themselves to this tactile, transformative art. Each episode connects you to a wider network of passionate minds, all refusing to ration their enthusiasm for the craft. Tune in to be part of a dialogue that’s changing how we think about creation, from the ground up.
