This week on Process, we sat down with Steven John Clark of Den Holm. It's a conversation about patience, practice, and the quiet discipline of making things well before making them big.

Steve reflects on the missteps that come from moving too fast, and the clarity that came from slowing down to solidify his creative foundation. We talk through the power of hands-on education, the importance of working directly with materials, and how craftsmanship, at its core, is about creative manipulation, not just precision.

As the conversation unfolds, we explore the early stages of building a team, and the illusion of urgency that ambition can create. Steve also shares his thoughts on community, and why real engagement, not just marketing, is essential to growing a meaningful brand.

This week, Arielle and Mon visited Steve at the Den Holm studio in Melbourne and learned a few things. Keep your eyes peeled!
