Biodynamic gardening does work. Garden Organic in the UK has shown this. Fascinating to see the starting points for subsequent textile pieces.

Thank you both of you. Having taught many dyslexic children and adults, I totally understand. I’m 70 and on my art journey so really appreciate your time. ❤

Absolutely stunning! If I could do even a fraction of what Sue does I’d be happy!

I went to one of Sue's workshops last October and can fully recommend..her work/knowledge is amazing..

You might get the International Quilt Museum in Nebraska to show it.

You certainly have become Susan. Wonderful story. Love and hugs my friend.

Susan you inspire us with your creativity it's very catchy....❤

Fleur woods is the best and so awesome she is from my hometown, glad you gave her the recognition she deserves. Awesome you can find your way. Natural ability and do your own thing we say x

A stimulating interview. I like to think about the reverse situation. How many new species have been found? Perhaps this is another reconstructed collage?

Thank you for this illustrious interview. I adore Sue Hotchkis and enjoyed the Q&A. I marvel at her ability to employ so many techniques and take risks. Brava Sue! And thank you Tara!

Having recently discovered this amazing series I am steadily introducing myself to the wonderful makers in the world through these incredible conversations. Sue’s talent and love for her craft shone through. I was engrossed.

I’ve decided to take a short break from being creative and immerse myself in these wonderful conversations. What a wise decision. Beautiful artist inside and out.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this. Beautiful works.👏

May I also ask whether Sue's shed paintings were 10 x10 inches or cm?

I couldn't make the live session, so have just watched this. Very entertaining, honest and inspiring. Thank you. I liked Sues answers to the 'every artist must...' questions. Affirming.

Thank you for this wonderful and inspiring talk

Brilliant thank you Sue, look forward to seeing you soon xx

I loved this talk . Thanks for sharing. Alta from South Africa.

I missed the live - but this was incredible! I love your work sue - very inspiring. I’ve only just recently discovered this form of printing and I’m now inspired to keep at it! Thankyou both for a wonderful informative interview!

Hi from Cornwall UK

This warmed my heart so much, so grateful to find this today. Beautiful authentic story and art full of life. ❤

Fantastic interview with a divine human being whose art is soul food - thank you to Kuweni & Debs I am so grateful

Hello, Crystal my friend! So happy to see you on this channel. You have been one of the primary art mentors in my life.

Absolutely beautiful work, thank you so much for sharing..................Love, love, love everything about your work, Great Blessings to you and yours!!!!!

I enjoyed hearing from Willemien so much, what a resilient artist to do work on such a profoundly distressing topic, and to keep doing it! I am inspired by her work with stitch and stain, thank you very much for presenting her here.

Really enjoyable episode, thank you.

Wonderful episode. For once, I know one of the techniques described - paper lamination. Thank you.

Thank you Tara and Sue - I feel as if I was right there, part of a warm conversation. It really flowed, with information as well as Sue's feelings about her work and process. The discussion of methods was interesting and added a lot to the impact of the work for me.

Amazing beautiful work. Thank you

If anyone needs to write their own "Artist Statement," these videos are a goldmine of rich, descriptive language. Being an American, the English is just differently pronounced enough to keep my brain "tuned in" to HOW they are describing the Art, not just the visual images.

The work is so stunning. Thank you so much. We didn’t have the same problems watching this that you had in the interview so thank you Tara and Sue for continuing despite fuzzy internet and storms!. I love what Sue says about doing something you love, what brings joy!

Thank you, Sue for sharing your work and process. Here’s 2 questions: since you do a lot of burning, do you do that outside? Are you concerned about breathing in bad contaminants? TIA …Best wishes with your numerous pieces. ❤️💕

I feel so identified with you. I am a computer engineer and I think I can say I am something like a visual artist, or on the way to being one 😊. @yasmin.fotart

Lovely art and nice interview

Have always adored Sue’s assemblies. The colors and surfaces are stunning.

Really interesting conversation. Have been so inspired. Thank you Sue & Tara.

what computer embroidery machine do you use?

I love Sues work,I’ve always loved rust and decay, and what a lovely lady, thank you for sharing xx ❤

Losing the scissors…with sticky fingers!

Women of a certain age…no one cares 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Isn’t it liberating?

What a gift to hear you share, and to have the pleasure of FEELING your art. This was profound for me. Thank you Theda, and thank you, Angie!

Oh Theda, I had to cry during your presentation. Love your heart!❤️ I learned sooo much, thank you. Ang, your loving heart shines through in your well worded questions and your quietness when you’re listening. I admire your skills. Love your heart, too. ❤️ Thank you for these interviews!!!!

Wow! Wow,. Amazing art work and inspiring conversation. Thank you

Just wonderful, I have really enjoyed this episode. The best (to me) yet - not seen every episode this year though!

Wow. Wow. Theda is an inspiration. Thank you so much!
