Episode 7: Marilyn Webster, Presence and Patience at the Loom
Update: 2022-12-09
Description
Marlyn Webster is a masterful weaver (www.whimsyandtea.com) who is also thoughtful about what she does (www.whimsyandtea.com/blog). We talk about the importance of having beauty in daily life, what goes into creating it, and our strange reluctance to have it -- would you use a handwoven kitchen towel to clean up spaghetti sauce, or would you feel it was "too good for the job"? Marilyn addresses the idea of the patience to make something is actually a presence in the process, enjoyable in itself. She shares her thoughts on the value of having handmade objects, their differences from manufactured ones, what the human investment is.
