SEAMSIDE: Exploring the Inner Work of Textiles

MANY LAYERS MAKE A STORY


Listen Later

When we encounter textile work—especially quilts—we often perceive multiple stories at once: what the maker stitched into the surface, what materials they chose, what techniques they used, and maybe even what it meant to them personally. This meditation helps you understand how these four narrative layers can align to reinforce meaning or contrast to create complexity. We'll explore "the net and the air"—what you make explicit versus what you leave open to interpretation.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS → Which narrative layer do you naturally focus on most? Which do you tend to overlook?

AFFIRMATION → Surface and depth both speak / Meaning arises in my hands

WANT TO LEARN MORE? → Join us live for the full WONDER YEAR program in 2026 for a communal journey with monthly reflections, live gatherings, workshops, and ongoing support to help you build a sustainable, deeply personal creative practice. We’d love to have you <3
