How Quilting Builds Creativity, Community, and Problem-Solving | iNNOVATION Insights Podcast

Описание: Creative practices are not just about making objects. They are about solving problems, stretching creativity, and finding connection.

In this clip from Episode 49 of the INNOVATION Insights Podcast, Dr. Erin French discusses how quilt-making serves as a powerful creative outlet for problem-solving and personal growth. She explains how individuals use quilting to stretch their creativity while addressing design and technical challenges, and how social support plays a critical role in sustaining creative practice.

Dr. French highlights the importance of community, from friends and family who encourage quilt making to online spaces where makers can connect with others who share their interests. Social media, in particular, has helped many quilters feel less isolated by allowing them to see and engage with others who look like them and share similar creative experiences, even when local support is limited.

This conversation underscores how creativity thrives through connection, visibility, and shared practice.
