This week, artist Ileana Haberman talks about embroidery, queerness, and mental health. Plus, a review of Nancy Hiller's book Shop Tails: The Animals Who Help Us Make Things Work.
Episode Recorded October 11, 2021. Freddy Roman has grown up within the furniture field and mastered a variety of trades revolving around restoration woodworking and everything that goes along with it, from veneer work in neoclassical furniture to glazing antique windows. This is a thoughtful episode coming from someone who occupies the space where “trades” and “craft” are the same. Freddy shares his thoughts about the differences between handwork and machine work and what he's learned in the process of being a woodworker. He also explains the importance of teaching handwork to folks lost skills that would've been commonplace a few decades ago.

Recorded March 29, 2021. A staple to cabinetry work, Nancy Hiller sits down with us to illuminate the intricacies of different tuna fish sandwich recipes. Jokes aside, during the course of her woodworking career, Nancy has come to recognize the importance of efficiency in her business, and also how writing is part of what keeps her happy. In spite of her intimidatingly incredible work, Nancy’s dry sense of humor makes it easy to connect on a personal level and her mission of educating the public to rethink what we value shines through in this episode.

Shane and Harry are joined by cabinetmaker and author Nancy Hiller. Shane discusses one of Nancy's publications, 'Historic Preservation in Indiana' and its relevance to an idea of things that aren't the supposedly important things. He claims that this is his entry into the design conversation, even though it's not about design at all. They talk about the importance of how objects tell the story of humans, how the world is made, and all the 'not capital-I important' things and people worth studying and loving. Harry talks about anxiety when doing built-ins and the intrinsic value of making hedgehog houses. Nancy talks about making a modest living doing things that matter for and are appreciated by her clientele. Nancy is about to start work on a kitchen and getting back in the workshop, while also putting out some more publications, Shane recently attended a chair making course, and Harry is setting up his new workshop.
If you want to take a few notes about how to build an authentic Arts and Crafts Furniture piece, Nancy Hiller's book is a great resource. Join me on the show as we dive into an interesting book on an interesting topic from a different perspective.
Nancy Hiller's book, Making things work is a poignant and funny account of what life is really like as a cabinet maker. It's a book that I enjoyed, and if you've ever considered turning your side hussle into a day job, perhaps reading this first is a good idea.
I had a wonderful interview and discussion with Nancy Hiller about her book Making Things Work, her other projects, a book recommendation etc. And I asked her all the questions I could about her work and life. It was a great conversation and could have gone on for hours. She was really wonderful to talk too.

In certain circles, this week's guest is considered a rock star. While she humbly disagrees, we're impressed with the fact that this author, teacher, artist, scholar and woodworker has chosen Bloomington as her home. Since 1995, Nancy Hiller has taught cabinetmaking, furniture, and finishing courses, authored five books and run NR Hiller Design, a one woman design and build operation. We talk to Nancy about how a woodworking course taken out of spite led her down the path to what would become her life's work and how being a homeowner provided comfort and satisfaction to her as a single woman. Also, we throw back to At Home in Bloomington Episode 24, in honor of women doing what they want to do! Scouts BSA Troop 1148 has been lighting up the scouting scene and providing opportunities for girls to camp, hike, make and learn outside and in the community in a way mostly only boys had done in the past. And in our REAL-List segment, Deb shares the realities of a home remodeling project.
