Why we draw (47)

<p>Do you draw? And if not - why not? If you've stopped drawing, or <em>never</em> drawn, or you're scared to start, how can you get started again? And why do we think it's important you should? All questions we hope to answer in this episode!</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Mentioned in this episode:</p> <p>Ira Glass: The Gap <a href="https://vimeo.com/85040589">https://vimeo.com/85040589</a></p> <p>Mrs Harris goes to Paris <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5151570/">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5151570/</a></p> <p>Face paredolia <a href="https://newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science-tech/why-brain-programmed-see-faces-everyday-objects">https://newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science-tech/why-brain-programmed-see-faces-everyday-objects</a></p> <p>Prosopagnosia <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopagnosia">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopagnosia</a></p> <p>Funky Faces in Stitch <a href="https://ginaferrari.podia.com/funky-faces-in-stitch">https://ginaferrari.podia.com/funky-faces-in-stitch</a></p> <p>Portrait Artist of the Year 2022 <a href="https://www.gathered.how/arts-crafts/art/sky-portrait-artist-of-the-year/">https://www.gathered.how/arts-crafts/art/sky-portrait-artist-of-the-year/</a></p> <p>You can find us at:</p> <p>Gina Ferrari <a href="https://www.ginaferrari-art.co.uk/">https://www.ginaferrari-art.co.uk/</a></p> <p>Izzy Moore <a href="https://isobelmoore.co.uk/">https://isobelmoore.co.uk/</a></p> <p>The music is Dear Autumn by Ikson and you can find it at <a href="https://soundcloud.com/ikson">https://soundcloud.com/ikson</a></p>
