Making Zen Online Retreat begins on 18 October 2021 for 5 days and the free presentations are available until Sunday 24th October. Keep up to date through the Instagram account.

This is Kate's sixth podcast and this time it's to encourage you to try a new technique with all the amazing speakers - Zac Foster, Meridith Woolnough, Sarah Woodyard, Sky Pennant, Liz Hayward, Maria Theoharous, Evelyn Bourne, Andrea Tsang Jackson, Raina McDonald,  Heidi Iverson, Emma Freeman, John MacPhail, Vaina Soucy, Amy Maricle, Kaila Givehand and Kate Ward.

Each day 3 videos from the makers will be published and there will be live discussions with them online.

Textile Artist, Quilt Designer, Author and Educator Andrea Tsang Jackson talks about her transition from architecture, to exhibit design, to making her creative escape, quilting her full-time pursuit. She shares the emotional impact of doing creative work as a mom and non-Black or Indigenous woman of colour during the pandemic and social uprisings. We also talked about the “model minority” concept and the complicated dynamic of race and gender in quilting as a practice and industry.
