some podcast links for textile nerds
- This week's edition of By Design had a great piece at the end on the place of kimono in modern Japan. You can listen here.
- India Flint was interviewed on Artworks about her natural dyeing practice. I have her book Eco Colour (thanks, Kath!) and it is so beautiful and inspiring. Well worth a listen (here).
- And on Life Matters this morning there was feature on guerilla knitting and an interview with Magda Sayeg of Knitta Please, who is in Australia as part of the Soft Sculpture exhibition at the NGA. The idea of knit graffitti is so appealing. She's in Sydney next week, so hopefully there will be some springing up around here.
- Another textile exhibition that just opened is of Silk Ikats at the AGNSW, and it looks amazing - such incredible colours and patterns, especially as they are yarn dyed rather than printed. I am going to brave a trip to the gallery with Ali (he's usually good, but unpredictable) to see them. There was a feature on this exhibition on Artworks, too (here).
I guess I have just outed myself as an AM radio listener. I think these podcasts are only up for a couple of weeks after the program airs, so check them out soon if you're interested.
