For today’s Friday meet-up, we are going to relax and have a chat with Chen Chen and Hui Lian of Craft Atelier in Singapore.
Craft Atelier is the ultimate fibre arts studio for multicraftual makers. For someone who is interested in knitting, crochet, weaving, spinning or stitching – and anything to do with yarn, thread, fabric or fibre. These gals are inspired and energized, and have been building a craft community for many, many years now.
You may actually recognize Craft Atelier as one of our SweetGeorgia Brand Ambassadors, and that is because of all of the work they’re doing to spread the joy of colour and craft. So, join me on today’s Taking Back Friday as I meet with Chen Chen and Hui Lian…
Everything they are doing is so inspiring and encouraging, with making fibre arts and craft accessible to everyone. I would love to hear from you and see what you found the most helpful about this conversation. We are meeting with our Brand Ambassadors in conversations like this throughout the year, and I would love to hear about topics you’re interested in, or let me know if there’s any questions you’d like me to ask!
