Which comes first: art or teaching? (38)

Izzy & Gina in stitches

When we teach, often our own art and creativity can take a backseat. Why does this happen and what can we do to change it?

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. Isobel Moore and Gina Ferrari 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.
