Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists.My guest today, Clova Rae-Smith, is a British jewellery designer based in New York City. Clova graduated from Central Saint Martins and was recognized as one of DAZED’s “UAL Graduates to Watch.” She specializes in grillz that blend fine art, fashion, and identity, and has quickly become one of the most sought-after jewelers in the industry. Clova’s work has been featured in VOGUE and ROLLING STONE, and her clients include Beyoncé (who gifted Clova’s grillz to her Renaissance Tour performers), Jorja Smith, and Bladee, along with collaborations with Pinterest and Fenty x Puma.On today’s episode, I speak with Clova about social media addiction, burnout and breakdowns, and setting boundaries.

Clova also shares some great advice and talks about exploring her new interests in drawing and pottery.You can now support this podcast by clicking HERE and becoming a Patreon Supporter!If you’re enjoying the podcast, please rate, review, subscribe, and share on Instagram!If you have any questions you’d like answered, write in to [email protected]: Isaac Mannwww.isaacmann.cominsta: @isaac.mannguest: Clova Rae-Smithwww.clovaraesmith.cominsta: @clovajewelleryThank you as always to ARRN, the Detroit-based artist and instrumentalist, for the music.
