Episode 033: Aspen Golann

Episode Recorded June 28, 2021. 

Aspen Golann is a dynamo furniture maker based in North Carolina who started out her craft career dabbling in weaving before being drawn to woodworking at North Bennet Street School in Boston, Massachusetts. Recently she’s been collaborating and working on a new craft equity project looking for tool makers in the field that are under-recognized for their amazing work. In the episode she also reflects upon the lifestyle she wants to create as a craftsperson; learning to “water the plant” as opposed to “keeping a snowman from melting." Tune into this jam-packed episode for more metaphorical gems as Aspen takes us on her journey through woodworking.
