Brackish - S6 E3 Joanne Lamb & Trying


Listen Later

In this episode, Katie Treggiden speaks with Joanne Lamb, an Irish artist based in London, who creates delicate woven vessels inspired by nature and the Celtic Wheel of the Year.

"I want each of the baskets to tell a story, they are imbued with a sense of time and place for me. The power of telling stories helps us connect with nature, event the earliest humans have done that." – Joanne Lamb

What we cover:

* Joanne's artistic process and how she creates delicate vessels that look "grown rather than made"

* Reconnecting with Irish heritage and Celtic traditions after growing up disconnected from them

* Using the Celtic Wheel of the Year as a framework for deepening connections to nature

* The importance of storytelling and "creating a new path through old wisdom"

* How art can help us notice and appreciate seasonal changes

* Finding hope through creativity and community during challenging times

What next?

If all this talk of defiant hope has got you wondering where you can find some, I have something for you. Cultivating Hope is my three-part mini-course and it’s the three steps I move through whenever I start to feel despair tugging at my edges.

You will move out of ‘fight, flight or freeze’ mode and into a calm and connected state, reconnect with nature, and find aligned actions that you can take now to keep you to remind you that you can make a difference.

In the current climate, hope is an act of defiance, and it’s one I hope you’ll take with me.
