Chef Andreya is back to share so much amazing information about how to host a holiday party without the stress. She walks us through the planning stages that she has perfected as a chef, along with many valuable tips she has picked up over her amazing career. But what Chef Andreya really wants to remind you is that a holiday gathering (or any gathering with friends and family) should be about sharing space, love, and community, and a delicious meal is a great reason to come together. 
Wait, what does this have to do with the act of making? As a multicraftual app and podcast, we love to celebrate making of all types, which includes cooking and baking!  So grab your notebook, WIP, and a snack (because you might get hungry with all this food talk), and hit play.

Jen and Val took Making on the road to Barcelona Knits this past weekend. It was a journey that further solidified our belief in the power of local unity, connection, and creativity. The vibrant sense of togetherness at Barcelona Knits is only magnified by our interview with Aimée Gille of La Bien Aimée.

Aimée's passion for knitting transcends the craft itself to encompass the essence of community, reflecting the same values that have driven Making since the beginning.

Y'all are in for a treat. Terrance of Terrance Williams Designs joins Jen for an episode full of big laughs. :) Terrance shares his maker journey that was sparked by a love of fashion, which grew into learning how garments are made and the art of sewing, which led to launching his business!
He then dives into tips for sustainability, talking to the media, and the absolute joy of building a supportive community by being authentic with every interaction. Terrance and Jen also explore cultural appropriation vs appreciation, especially in craft, art, and making through the real-life example of Terrance's product created with Ankara fabric.
