Episode 27: Jen Hewett on Craft, Community and Connection
Lisa and Jen Hewett talk about Jen's latest book, This Long Thread: Women of Color on Craft, Community and Connection, published by Roost Books late 2021. Through this book, Jen celebrates and honors the diverse contributions of people of color in the craft community and explores the personal, political and creative potential of textile arts and crafts. Jen is one of a few prominent women of color in the fiber arts community and this book is her direct response to the need to highlight diverse voices. The book features interviews, essays and profiles and features a diverse spectrum of race, age, region, cultural identity, education and economic class. In this episode, Lisa and Jen talk about Jen’s journey in the craft community as a woman of color, especially after the racial reckoning of 2020, why this book is important, and how it might be different than what people expect. They also talked about some of the things that Jen learned when she was writing the book, why joy is an important element in the connection between women of color and craft, and... so much more! Enjoy!
