Podcasts about craftspeople

In this week's show Lian is joined by Paula Robinson. As an intuitive interior designer, Paula understands the profound effect that the spaces where we live and work have on our health, happiness and success in life. Often called the ‘space whisperer', she helps people to create living and working environments that transform their lives on all levels. Paula has been an interiors columnist for The Sunday Times, the Sunday Telegraph and Move Or Improve? magazine, and is the author of "The Healing Home & Garden: Reimagining Spaces for Optimal Wellbeing" and "The Room Planner: Over 100 Practical Plans For Your Home". Paula is happiest in nature - especially by the sea - and loves designing outdoor spaces. She is passionate about the environment, sustainable design, re-purposing furniture and objects, and supporting craftspeople over mass-producers. In this episode, Lian and Paula explore how our homes shape our bodies, minds, and mythic lives… the primal ways space soothes or unsettles us, and the quiet work of making a dwelling that heals. Together, they trace the path from head to heart, from trend to truth, and from copybook rules to the felt sense of sanctuary. Together, they journey through refuge and prospect, the simple power of moving a chair, and why bedrooms and workspaces ask for special care. Paula shares how intuitive design emerges, how objects carry the craft and energy of their makers, and how plants, animals, light, and air restore a room's vitality. At the centre of this conversation is a gentle invitation… listen to what your home is already telling you, let your instincts set the first mark, then let practicality refine it. Beauty follows when a space begins to mirror the soul that lives there. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Start with feeling, then refine with form: notice how each room lands in your body, create refuge and prospect by seeing both door and view, then let measurements and plans serve what already feels right. Small changes shift everything: rearrange to interrupt stale traffic patterns, personalise even temporary spaces, and enliven rooms with plants, natural light, fresh air, mirrors, and the quiet presence of animals. Design as living story: choose objects that speak to you, honour their makers and materials, and when a house feels unsettled, consider energetic space clearing so the home and its history can move with you rather than against you.

If one uses a shopkeeper or a money changer to hold on to a worker's wages - can he be paid this way, or can he go back to the employer to be paid directly? Of course, it's a machloket. Also, swearing that you weren't paid to be able to collect your wages - in contrast to the usual denial of claim. Which works to the protection of the employee.

For the past eight years, the Country Life Top 100 has been the essential list when it comes to finding the best architects, builders, interior and garden designers in the UK. The list is the brainchild of our Interiors Editor Giles Kime, who has used his decades of experience to showcase two of our nation's great talents — architecture and design.Giles joins James on the podcast for a second time, becoming the first returning guest, to discuss the history of the Top 100, what it takes to be included, who chooses what and, most importantly, why a list such as this one matters.Country Life has had a rich tradition of promoting and maintaining our built heritage, dating from the magazine's inception in 1897, when we were early champions of now-legendary names such as Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll. As Giles points out, the Top 100 is more than just a directory, it's a list designed to inspire and elevate the next generation of artisans and craftspeople. Perhaps someone in our list will be the next Edwin Lutyens or Gertrude Jekyll? While a lot has changed between 1897 and now (materials, sustainability implications, styles), one thing will always remain, says Giles, and that is timelessness. Not to be confused with ‘tradition', Giles adds that ‘what is exciting about the best houses being built or restored today is that, increasingly, they combine desirable qualities both from the past and the present'. It's that principle that has guided the best country house design and, by extension, those included on our list.By beginning with functionality, with things that work for people in terms of comfort and practicality, timeless design grows outwards into a style and approach that is less likely to date. Timelessness is creating and restoring buildings ‘with a capacity to evolve as needs change'. You can find the Country Life Top 100 in the magazine on March 6, 2024, or on our website at www.countrylife.co.ukEpisode CreditsHost: James FisherGuest: Giles KimeProducer and editor: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

The Early Edo Period was a time of newfound stability for the formerly chaotic Japanese archipelago. Although the samurai were the official ruling class of the nation, however, in many ways they were not the principle beneficiaries of the new national status quo.Support the show

It's the season of craft fairs, when artisans come out from their studios, or from a corner of an apartment stuffed with art supplies, and try to sell what they've made. We sit down with local craftspeople and creators to discuss the world of crafts, and what it means to be an artisan today in the Bay Area, where culture is rich but finances are always tight. We talk about hobbies, obsessions, side hustles, and why they're such important parts of our lives and our community. Guests: Yina Kim, artist; storyteller; maker; founder, ODSY Workshop.

There aren't very many traditional lantern makers left in Shanghai. They're being replaced by technology creating mass-produced versions. But some people are still trying to keep the culture alive.

The popularity of the British TV series The Repair Shop - where damaged personal items are repaired by talented craftspeople - is a reminder that some skills must never be allowed to die out. Christchurch is about to celebrate its Heritage Festival with events including workshops for printmaking, blacksmithing and colonial baking at the Okains Bay Maori and Colonial Museum on Banks Peninsula. The Craftmasters' Festival of Heritage Crafts hopes to encourage people to give it a go, and along the way to appreciate just what goes into the handmade at a time when most things are mass produced. Lynn Freeman spoke to blacksmith Les Schenkel - who you'll usually find at the Blacksmith Shop at Governors Bay. Les is concerned that his craft is dying in Aotearoa, with few if any apprenticeships offered.

For French craftspeople, the title of "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" is the prestige of a lifetime; the recognition of unparalleled know-how. The most famous winners are all chefs, but in reality, 230 different trades are involved in this competition. Florists, stonemasons and pastry chefs all compete with their skills to win the holy grail of their profession. We went to meet some of these talented craftspeople.

Software is eating the world, and the developers who build it have been called ‘the new kingmakers' – but creating a truly engaged dev team is about much more than just finding people who are able to hammer out code.

In France's Limousin region, arts and crafts are a tradition. For six generations, a family of tilers have been decorating the roofs of houses in the area. In an old factory, they make flat tiles by hand, baked in an old gas oven. Another Limousin tradition is wool processing. We meet Mariche, who uses a set of age-old techniques to make felt pieces (pictured).

I've known my next podcast guest, Debbie Bliss, for many years. We met last century when I was a fashion assistant stepping in for the fashion editor to style one of Debbie's knitting pattern books. The most published knitwear designer in the world has over 35 books, 20 booklets, her own range of yarns and her own knitting magazine. If you want to know anything about knitting, Debbie Bliss is your woman. After working together, we initially kept in touch but living at opposite ends of the Victoria Line came between us, so I am thrilled to have made contact with her again. She cares deeply about democratic design, carefully develops collections to complement the qualities of each yarn - and is very, very funny.In this That's Not My Age podcast episode, Debbie talks movingly about having breast cancer, which has seen her undergo a mastectomy, lymph node removal and over six months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. 'Anyone who has ever had cancer will understand, you're never quite removed from the fear that it will come back, and you'll have to go through it all again,' she says. 'People tell people who have been diagnosed to be positive; but I think that bring realistic works better for me.'PODCAST CREDITSProducer and audio engineer: Linda Ara-TebaldiHost: Alyson WalshGuest: Patrick GrantMusic: David SchweitzerArtwork: Ayumi TakahashiDigital technician: Tom Hole at StirtingaleCoordinator: Helen Johnson

The theme of the campaign was “凸凹Eye” which means bumpy surfaced eyes. It focused on "The Eyes of Craftspeople," something for which Japan is renowned for, in order to make it easy to understand that the condition called dry eye is a disease that does not result simply in dry eyes, but caused by the mucosal abnormality on the surface of the eye and making it bumpy. The campaign featured segments on the eyes of active female professionals, along with explanations from ophthalmologists, and ran in magazines with a predominantly middle-aged female readership, a group that is particularly prone to developing dry eye. Otsuka executive Yoshiko Wakana of the Dermatologicals & Ophthalmologicals Sales Department attended the awards ceremony, which was held in Tokyo on November 5, 2014. Otsuka Pharmaceutical conducted an educational campaign on dry eye in various media, including this magazine advertising campaign, internet sites, and television programs. Ms. Wakana said, "I would like to help as many patients who are suffering from dry eye as possible, by providing them with both safe and effective medicines and with high-quality information."

Gary Pollice is a Professor of Practice, Computer Science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He discusses his use of project simulation to bring "Real World Challenges" into an academic setting. While he does not specifically teach Agile Methods in the class, many of the processes and practices that emerge will look shockingly familiar to those of us in the agile community. Plus he has fun with it ... I wish he had been one of my professors so that I could have learned some of the hard lessons in the classroom rather than on the job. -bob payne
