Encore: Fiber Talk with Jenny Adin-Christie

Passiflora in stump work by Jenny Adin-Christie.

Moving day is tomorrow. We’ll be in our new place Wednesday and Fiber Talk will be back to our regular full schedule Wednesday, June 16 with Gary and Beth doing the podcast and Carrie Noess demonstrating needle lace during the Stitch Hour. This week, enjoy an encore presentation of the conversation Gary had with the remarkable Jenny Adin-Christie. Since we recorded the conversation, she’s done some amazing needlework. Follow her on Instagram to see some of it.

Here’s the original podcast: This week I’m joined by Jenny Adin-Christie. She is a graduate of the Royal School of Needlework and a veteran teacher at the school. Her primary needlework efforts these days involve creating her own designs and teaching all over the world, along with regular classes in her own studio. She also is a regular contributor to Inspirations magazine. Most of her work involves various combinations of whitework, stumpwork, and goldwork. Enjoy my conversation with one of the standout talents in the needle-arts community.–Gary

Fiber Talk with Lindsay Olson

Circular Sounds, interpretation of passive acoustics by Lindsay Olson.
Neutrinos, by Lindsay Olson.

This week we merge needlework and science through the talents of Lindsay Olson in a show sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery and Avlea Mediterranean Folk Embroidery. Lindsay is a needle artist who had absolutely no science in her life and really wasn’t much interested. That all changed with a canoe trip down the Cal Sag Channel where she encountered an engineered waterfall built by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. “The process of finding out who built this structure and why led me to the world’s largest wastewater treatment plant in Stickney, IL. I suddenly realized that if I used my training as an artist, I could learn enough engineering to create art that tells the real story of water in a dense urban area. I actually fell in love with science in the middle of a waste water treatment plant” In our conversation we learn about that experience, her work at Fermi Lab and the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, and as part of a scientific team on a research vessel studying sound in the Atlantic Ocean. Those experiences and how they’ve generated fascinating interpretive needle art make this a show you don’t want to miss.–Gary

Fiber Talk with Jane Dunnewold

View of the Harbor by Jane Dunnewold

As a needleworker, Jane Dunnewold doesn’t fit in any clear-cut technique category. Where she does fit is in that group of textile artists who will use just about any material or technique to express a vision. To some degree, her needlework pales in comparison to her contributions as an educator. In this week’s show, sponsored by Avlea Mediterranean Folk Embroidery (avlea.life), we have the pleasure of discussing Jane’s needlework endeavors and digging deep into her educational efforts, particularly her work focused on helping people identify and develop their creative skills through her Creative Strength Training program. Be sure to enjoy her new Facebook Live series, “The Cornerstones of Creativity.” It airs every Saturday at 3:00 p.m. Eastern on her Facebook Channel. We hope this week’s conversation gets your creative juices flowing.–Gary and Beth
