Stuff: what, why, and where do we put it all? (15)

Izzy & Gina in stitches

Artists are renowned for collecting stuff - and we're no exception. What do we hold onto, why do we keep it, and where do we put it all?

Welcome to a new podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles.

Izzy and Gina are both practicing artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we’re still figuring it all out! We chat about combining the creative process with running a business and hope that you will find inspiration and support for your own creative journeys.
