SEAMSIDE: Exploring the Inner Work of Textiles

Talking to Kathryn Greenwood Swanson is like completing an electrical circuit that you hadn’t realized was open. Big ideas just light up this entire conversation. Kathryn and I catch up on the one year anniversary of our SEAMSIDE chat to catch up on everything that’s happened since we last talked.
If you haven’t heard our first conversation, Kathryn runs a thriving creative reuse shop in Turner Falls, Massachusetts called Swanson’s Fabric, and you can find it here. In that conversation we talked about: the role of the communal stashhouse, the shame so often associated with our fabric stashes, and how to start your own secondhand fabric store like Swansons.
In this SEAMSIDE conversation, Kathryn and I talk about: ① how to work with the energy of objects ② fixing the entire world in one fell swoop ③ our dreams for a cross-country multi-city quilty bus tour

BACKSTITCH with Coulter Fussell
It’s been a year since Coulter Fussell and I first chatted here on SEAMSIDE. In that conversation, we talked about the South and family history, the role of community in her work, and how she maintains hope in the face of conflict. You can find that first conversation, HOW TO WORK WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT, in your feed below in March 2023.
In this new SEAMSIDE conversation, Coulter and I reconnect and explore:
① why in the world she’s making headboards
② the traditional magic of making dolls
③ why Coulter thinks the world’s first sculpture was made by busy mothers

HOW TO TEND THE FLOCK with weaver and sheepherder Tyrrell Tapaha
Tyrrell Tapaha, a sixth-generation Diné weaver and sheepherder, will tell you there’s nothing in his work that specifically belongs to him. And while it may be true that there’s nothing new under the sun and that all artists draw from deep wells of collective experience, I can’t help but think that there is something special about Tyrrell’s work—the use of text, the collage-like shifts in weaving patterns, the subject matter—that sets his work apart.
In this SEAMSIDE conversation, Tyrrell and I discuss: ① the intrinsic differences between sheep and goats ② how his great-grandmother’s loom fits perfectly on top of his car ③ how to balance preserving tradition and forging new pathways
WHY LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE? In this conversation we explore Tyrrell’s personal and cultural experiences with weaving, with insights into how he combines a practice that’s deeply rooted in tradition while simultaneously creating new and unexpected work

GENERATION: Eroding Foundations and Making It Right
Time continually marching forward. Each new day just piles on top of yesterday and gets buried further back in what we have come to call history.
I think there's a problem with thinking about time that way, and that's what we're exploring today on SEAMSIDE. I'm going to share with you a quilt that I made called Generation. It's part of the Southern White Amnesia, a body of work that I've pulled together in the last couple years, exploring the stories that Southern White families tell each other and the ones they don't.
In this SEAMSIDE conversation, we explore:
① what to do with treasured but unusable family quilts
② how every quilt has something to teach us
③ how time plays with quilts
