About
Welcome to Filum, a podcast celebrating the rich, layered world of textile arts, embroidery, and fibre storytelling. Whether you're a seasoned stitcher, an emerging fibre artist, or simply fascinated by the power of art and thread, this is your space, here you will find tales that inspire and reveal the unique experiences of creators, makers, and lovers of all kinds.
Each episode explores:
- The philosophy and symbolism of fibre art across the globe and cultures
- Traditional and contemporary art and textile practices around the world
- The therapeutic power of art and fibre manipulations
- Tips for creative inspiration to fuel your own practice
From primitive woven materials to opulent creations, from Jacobean florals to modern fibre installations, from sacred symbols to personal healing stories, we uncover the magic and meaning behind the needle and thread. Join us every week as we stitch together art, history, emotion, and community — one story at a time.
