Jo Andrews started the Haptic and Hue podcast in 2020 to tell the story of the hidden hands behind textiles and the way in which they are a detective story you can hold.

In season 2, Jo sets out to explore the way in which cloth expresses our deepest feelings, from sorrow to joy, from warmth to pain. Each episode will look at a different feeling and unravel its story in fabric, thinking about different cultures and traditions to help us do that.

In this podcast you'll also hear how you can contribute to the development of Series 3.

Jo Andrews started the Haptic and Hue website to think about the hidden hands behind textiles and the way in which they are a detective story you can hold.

Jo felt useless at sewing at school, totally useless. She became a radio reporter and then TV News reporter for BBC and ITN, and covered so many war torn places and lots of politics.

Jo then went to New Zealand and learnt to weave at night school. She absolutely loved it. While Jo was in New Zealand she also worked as journalist all over the Pacific.

You'll learn more about Jo on this podcast episode and you will absolutely love listening to the well written and researched stories on Haptic and Hue podcast.
