Meet Andrea Tsang Jackson of 3rd Story Workshop! - Ep. 127

In this episode, we sit down with Andrea Tsang Jackson, a talented textile artist and quilt designer whose work bridges the worlds of art, design, and community.  With a background spanning various design fields, Andrea has built a reputation for her vibrant, thought-provoking pieces that not only explore the boundaries of textile art, but also emphasize the power of collaboration and public art. In our conversation, Andrea shares her journey through design, her process of creating meaningful, community-centered projects, and how she brings people together through the tactile and transformative art of quilting. Her first book, Gemology: Transforming Fabrics Into Facets is a look at how transparency and light can be translated with fabric and color choice.  Andrea’s second book, Quilting: A Modern Creative Journey through an Age-Old Craft will be released with Nine Ten Publications in early 2025.  Whether you're an artist, designer, or simply someone who appreciates the intersection of creativity and connection, this episode is sure to inspire. Tune in to hear about the intersection of art, design, and social impact in the world of textile arts. Find Andrea here!
