What this episode covers
Join Lisa as she chats with printmaker and author of Print, Pattern Sew: Block-Printing Basics + Simple Sewing Projects, Jen Hewett, on her journey to finding her niche of making art that “elevates the everyday experience.” Tune in to hear Hewett’s captivating story of blooming from a shy child with a natural love for patterns to her present position as a full-time artist. The two also discuss creating design opportunities from mistakes, how sewing even liberated her to make her own clothes and navigating being a Black artist in today’s social media age. While Hewett’s work was initially centered around stationary, her path changed when her first printed bags went viral. She has not looked back since, continually adding to her repertoire of accomplishments, including her upcoming novel (featuring someone you may know!) This Long Thread: Women of Color on Craft, Community, and Connection, to be released in Summer 2021. PATREON exclusive: Supporters get access to the video version of this episode.
