Africa Wax Cloth- Haptic & Hue Podcast
I recently had a long and engaging conversation with Jo Andrews of Haptic & Hue about African Wax Prints and my own take on its history, visibility and origins. Haptic & Hue explores the creation of fabrics and the stories that lie behind them. It made me revisit some of the things that steered me towards starting urbanstax and I am more determined than ever to continue on this adventure. Here is hoping we can continue on this journey of discovery and colour together.
Do check out the podcast here- www.hapticandhue.com/african-wax-cloth/ and let us know what you think!
