In this episode, I talk with Kim Hamill. She is a weaver and weaving teacher from northern New Mexico.
She has been on a mission to bring the ancient technology of the backstrap loom into the mainstream craft arena. Kim shares with us her story about how she got into weaving, the pieces she's created that really speak to her heart, and the incredible ancient history surrounding weaving. We taught in depth about how creativity can be an act of rebellion, the flow of creative projects and how that can really challenge and change us, and the resurgence we both see in art, craft and making right now. Kim's work really spoke to me through her sharing the images of her projects in progress. Her intention and dedication to her craft, the focus, and meditation it takes is a practice that is inspiring and beautiful to watch.
