Did you know our Textile Talk episodes are captioned? 🎬

Every episode is available on YouTube with full captions for deaf and hard of hearing viewers β€” because great conversations about textile art should be accessible to everyone.

This week: Murron Fraser, a contemporary textile artist working in machine embroidery, folklore, and mixed media, joins host Gail Cowley for one of our most inspiring episodes yet.

She talks about UV-reactive threads that reveal hidden worlds, using a sewing machine like a paintbrush, and what it really means to build a creative career on your own terms.

Watch with captions on YouTube, or listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.
