    29: Artist & Textile Designer Dana Haim

    The magic of nature, losing our sense of time, remembering to be grateful, getting into an exercise groove, and the joy of making pom poms! In this episode, I talk to artist and textile designer Dana Haim, whose mission is to spark joy through the creation of ethical, hand-made goods. She achieves this and then some through her instructional workshops across the U.S. and strategic partnerships with local organizations in Mexico and Colombia (where her family is from), which allow her to weave social and environmental consciousness into her craft. Dana received her BA in textile design from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and her MA in design for Textile Futures from Central Saint Martins in London.   Music Show Opener: Salt-n-Pepa, Pharrell Williams (with Justin Timberlake), Melanie and Kanye West (feat. Rhymefest) Pom Pom Play Girl (Session Highlights) [Instrumental Mix With Backing Vocals] – The Beach Boys Shake It Like a Pom Pom – Missy Elliot Pom Pom – Mozart La Para I Slept With Bonhomme At The CBC Pom Pom - Matthew Dear Show Closer: DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Tricky, Dusty Springfield and Isaac Hayes   Reading List The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield The Wes Anderson Collection, by Matt Zoller Seitz   Watch List Wes Anderson: The Criterion Collection (on DVD)   ** If you love my show, please subscribe, rate and review in iTunes, or wherever you get your podcasts.
