In this episode of NeedleXChange we interview Kate Tume.

Kate Tume, an embroidery and mixed-media artist known as Mother Eagle, creates vibrant masks that personify new Gods and draw from her interest in magic, witchcraft, and mythology. In this first part of our NeedleXChange we explore how Kate's love of needlework re-emerged in adulthood and her involvement in the 2023 Hand & Lock Embroidery Prize.
