Jenn Thomas - Fibre Goddess

Explore connections within the fibre arts with Jenn Thomas, owner and dyer at Fibre Goddess. Connections are magic, and can create magic. Connection and community will be what heals and saves us during hard times. Explore different types of connection, like ancestral/familial connection, friendships, community, and other connections that you may not think have a connection to fibre arts like politics, witchcraft or music. Make some tea, grab your craft and settle in to explore the magic of connection through string.

    Magic Threads - Connection Through String with Fibre Goddess

    I just finished a run of 3 fibre shows in 4 weeks, and for this episode I decided to talk about fibre shows and the beautiful, magic connections that are made there. This episode is just me, Jenn, talking to you and I may do this from time to time. Next month, I'll be back to having guests. This episode is essentially a 15 min love letter to all of you. Thank you all for your continued support!!
