Jen Hewett
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 \u201celevates the everyday experience.\u201d\n\nTune in to hear Hewett\u2019s 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\u2019s social media age. While Hewett\u2019s 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. \n\nPATREON exclusive: Supporters get access to the video version of this episode.
