Izzy & Gina in stitches Isobel Moore & Gina Ferrari

Do you call yourself an artist? Or does that make you uncomfortable? We've both had mixed feelings in the past, so do we call ourselves artists now?!

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 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 .

In this final episode of the year, we look back at our goals and plans for 2021, and chat about whether we achieved them - or not! And if we didn't, do we know why? And do we like having plans anyway? Or do we prefer to set a rough intention for the year, and stay flexible? 

We also talk a little about what 2022 might look like, what's actually important to us, and how we're going to attempt to keep ourselves on track in the new year.

Yes, it's that time of year! We think about what we might like to receive this Christmas - from the obvious and perhaps indulgent to the seemingly mundane things that would actually make our day.
