Listen now
Description
I've been such a fan of Christi's work and especially her book Mystical Stitches for ages and so it's a real joy to bring this beautiful interview to you! Here is what we talked about:  Finding one's own voice with shapes, colours and composition  Rituals and creative process Writing books and sharing skills The beauty, magic and resilience of textiles Christi Johnson's personal work combines cosmic visions and botanical beauties, a hypnotic dance of symbols stitched slowly and methodically into fabric. She is the artist behind Mixed Color, a textile studio based in the foothills of the Catskills, NY which provides functional pieces that are thoughtfully made, as well as educating others in creativity and textile arts. Through books, kits, and online courses on embroidery and garment making, Christi guides her students through the skills they need to embrace self expression through handcrafts. She is the author of, Mystical Stitches (Storey Press, 2021), which explores embroidery as a tool for personal empowerment and magical embellishment to bring more meaning into stitches. www.mixedcolor.net Here is the ethical marketing workshop I mentioned: https://pinkwellstudio.com/ethical-marketing-workshop/ Thank you so much for listening!  Love, Yarrow
