In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Salley Mavor.

Salley Mavor is a mixed media artist whose folk-art inspired vignettes tell stories of light and dark. This is the second part of our NeedleXChange and we discuss how Salley's more political work taught her the power of social media for better or worse, We also find out more about the world of miniatures and we find out about Salley's favourite music, books and all that good stuff!

If you like creative world-builders, you will love our episodes with Audrey Montoya!
