Description
end up becoming Mr X Stitch?
understand. There are practical questions too. How do you value your time and avoid selling yourself short?
you listen to criticism without letting every passing opinion knock you off course?
Drawing on experiences ranging from publishing and podcasting to becoming a professional Father Christmas, Jamie considers the realities of sustaining a creative life. Expect honest reflections on social media, the importance of building your own audience and the uncomfortable business of recognising when something you have built has stopped working.
Along the way, he shares work by contemporary textile artists whose imagination and skill demonstrate just how much is possible with thread. With humour, practical observations and questions to take away, this talk invites you to consider your own creative direction. It also offers a timely reminder of something easily forgotten amid deadlines, money worries and Instagram metrics: you get to make things. That is a privilege worth enjoying.
