Making Conversation
Making Conversation is where creativity meets real talk. We’re all about celebrating the makers, fiber artists, and creatives who bring their unique stories to the table—no matter the medium. From knitting to crocheting to spinning, each episode dives into the passions, challenges, and journeys that drive their creative work.
We get to know the people behind the projects, exploring the funny, heartfelt, and inspiring moments you won’t find just scrolling through their social media. Along the way, we’ll chat about the things that matter—diversity, inclusion, and the power of community in the making world. Grab your WIP, tune in, and get ready for some good conversations with amazing people!
Making Conversation
shifting the dialogue of "art" vs "craft" with Hannah Austin and Jen Joyce
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The oh-so-lovely Hannah Austin of Needle OR Thread joins Jen to discuss the good ol' topic of “fine art vs craft” and how the community is shifting the dialogue and understanding while touching on how art forms/crafts typically labeled as "female" have usually been considered inferior to those traditionally done by men and the intersectionality of it all. Hannah also shares how she started her business and how her art has been healing through tough times.
