What does it mean to be a "custodian of craft"? 🧵✨
In our latest episode, Alicia sits down with the heritage crafter, conservationist, podcast host, and Odd Fellow Willow Polson for a journey through the hidden corners of history. From the secret symbolism of the Odd Fellows to the year-long process of weaving baskets, Willow shares what it’s like to hold traditions in your hands.
We’re talking:
The delicate art of restoring 100-year-old silk collars.
The ethics and honor of holding traditions for other cultures.
