Season 3 of The Capital of Craft Sarah James of Craft Festival and Find a Maker talks with maker, gallery owner and teacher, Jennifer Collier.  We talk about her practise and how she moved from textiles to paper and how her gallery, Unit Twelve, founded with her partner Iain Perry, has moulded her making life.  Paper pioneer, Jennifer Collier, creates exquisite sculptures from vintage recycled materials in conjunction with stitch; a contemporary twist on traditional textiles. The papers serve as both the inspiration and the media for the work, with the narrative suggesting the forms. Through this marriage of unlikely materials old papers are transformed into something truly unique, delicate and complex. Most recently Jennifer has been collecting rarely used, heritage stitches and discovering how to translate the art of lost stitches onto paper, as these techniques are an important part of our creative heritage and she wants to continue to invest time in them to keep them in the present, offering them onto future generations. Jennifer is giving new life to things that would otherwise go unused, unloved or be thrown away. Jennifer completed a BA (hons) in Textiles (Print, Knit and Weave) in 1999 at Manchester Metropolitan University, is internationally exhibited, and has had her work featured in over 60 magazines and over 15 books to date. @paperjennifer @unittwelve @craftfestival @find.amaker

The Capital of Craft Podcast | Jennifer Collier

Aly Moore

On this week’s episode, we air two interviews surrounding the topic of sustainable innovation. First, Match Volume’s Alexandra Applegate chats with Aly Moore, founder of insect advocacy blog Bugible. Moore shares her enthusiasm for all things insects, and why we should help nature return to its roots by reintroducing bugs back into food chains and human diets. Then, Match Volume’s Ashley Carnahan profiles Tiktoker and Upcycler Jennifer Collier. Collier, who is a junior at UCLA, went viral after she crocheted plastic grocery bags into sleeping mats for people who are unhoused. Listen for more on how you can make small changes in your life to reduce your carbon footprint.
