In this episode of the TQL podcast, Q talks with her friend Debra Haas about making jewelry and why it’s so important to her as a creative act. They discuss the difference between an art and a craft; how important it is to listen to practice self-care as an artist; and the value of having a creative community.
About Debra Haas:
After 30+ years as a parent and policy wonk, Deb started taking introductory metal-smithing classes when she became an empty nester. The pandemic forced a premature hiatus, but now she’s back at the bench living he best life, taking classes at Austin Community College in the jewelry department – for the pure joy of learning and creating.
