What would you do if you lost it all - your creative work, your tools and supplies, your archive...where would you start, to replace it? Would you? This was the knotty question asked by a listener to the podcast!

Welcome to our 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.

Isobel 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.

NB: While we approached this question from a purely hypothetical viewpoint, with the luxury of being able to treat it somewhat lightheartedly, we are aware that for many artists elsewhere, most recently in New Zealand, this has sadly become their reality. Our hearts go out to them, and what they must be going through. Even after our discussion, we cannot imagine or comprehend what this must really be like.

We didn't intend in any way to minimise or trivialise what is for many, a devastating, life-changing occurence. As artists we are part of an international family and we feel each other's losses and pains very deeply. If our discussion has taught us anything, it's that creative people are creative people, independent of the resources they have, and nearly always able to find a way through - even if the journey is hard.
