How Felting Changed Our Lives with Heather Potten and Louise Curnin
Description
A warm, conversational episode about how feltmaking ripples beyond craft: new skills, small businesses, artist co‑ops, travel, and personal growth. Heather Potten and new co-host, Louise Curnin, talk about turning classes into lasting friendships, opening local shops to sell work, and branching into related crafts—dyeing, leatherwork, ceramics, weaving—to enrich their felting. They describe shared rituals (making at a table, silent concentration), studio life (yurts, messy bedrooms and dogs on mic), and the satisfaction of creative escapes. The episode ends with behind‑the‑scenes laughter and production notes, making it an inviting snapshot of the two feltmakers.
