CRAFTCAST the Podcast #222

craftcast.com Patrik and I had the absolute honor of talking with Harriete Estel Berman, artist, activist, and one of the most fearless voices in contemporary jewelry. We dive into recycled materials, social commentary, creative courage, and how to build a body of work that truly stands for something. But this episode isn't just about jewelry. It's about voice. It's about courage. It's about deciding what you want your work to stand for and having the conviction to stand behind it. If you're a maker, whether you work in polymer clay, metal clay, fiber, paint, paper, or anything in between, this conversation is for you. Because at some point, every one of us has to ask: Is it enough to make something beautiful? Or do I want my work to say something more? Harriete has been asking and answering that question for decades. And today, we get to learn from her.
