Material Culture: A Weaving Podcast
The Material Culture podcast explores narratives of weaving, (text)iles, art, manufacturing, history, and the people, workers and artists whose stories create the framework and understanding of living with cloth. We’re all part of a common thread – forever connected by the material language of touch, a tactile sensibility.
