It's the school summer holidays and I'm taking a break. So instead of new chats, I'm replaying some of my old favourites!
This is a repeat of episode #56.
In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Diana Weymar.
Diana Weymar is an embroidery artist and curator, and founder of the Tiny Pricks project, a collaborative needlework project that immortalises quotes from Donald Trump as a crowdsourced documentary of an unusual part of American history. Diana is the author of Crafting A Better World (https://amzn.to/4demg2a) , a book focusing on collaborative craftivism which is a great addition to your craft library and one of the topics in this second part of our XChange!.
