Episode notes
In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Melissa English Campbell.
Melissa is a textile artist known for her experimental weaving practice that pushes the boundaries of pattern, structure, and meaning.
In this second half of our conversation, Melissa shares how her signature style emerged—from weaving mirrored fabrics and incorporating sticks to reflecting on cultural history and appropriation. We also explore her teaching experience, her influences, and how music and podcasts keep her company in the studio.
