    Why Make? Episode 34: Katie Hudnall Sep 23, 2021
    Show notes Episode 34: Katie Hudnall Why Make? Podcast Download

    In Episode 34 of Why Make we talk with artist, woodworker and educator Katie Hudnall, currently living in Madison Wisconsin she is an assistant professor of art at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Katie began in the arts as someone who loved to draw and was able to morph her drawing language into a unique woodworking style, despite her admitted lack of finer woodworking skills. Hudnall relies mostly on recycled, used and found materials, slotted screws and various other fasteners to create fantastic and other worldly work. Many of her pieces remind one of “Rube Goldberg” machine-like kinetic sculptures visiting from another era.After taking a class with woodworking luminary, Jere Osgood, Katie soon became fond of quoting his answer to her inquiry on whether an idea would work or not… Jere simply replied to her

    “it might be a disaster, we should try it!”

    Our conversation with Katie may be a disaster, but an intriguing and bizarrely shaped one for sure. So here we go…

He has also taught at the Oregon College of Art & Craft, and given workshops at Anderson Ranch, Haystack, Penland and Peters Valley.

    Andy’s work has always seemed to embody fun and whimsical forms but we step behind the whimsy to talk about the serious ideas he is exploring in his work and the unique design vocabulary he has developed.

    Robb has been an admirer of Andy’s work for a long time and his fun play on tools and toilet bowl plungers inspired his early work, including an ongoing flyswatter series! So grab a brush and a can of milk paint and join us as we see what makes Andy Buck tick.

    Show notes Episode 28: Maggie Sasso Why Make? Podcast Download

    On Episode 28 of the Why Make? podcast we talk with artist Maggie Sasso, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin based maker producing maritime influenced installation work.

    Maggie’s conceptual bodies of work examines material culture in relation to our collective past using comedy and levity to navigate through the harsh realities of modern life. Although Maggie has a background in contemporary craft, including woodworking and metal smithing, most of her current work is in fiber… resulting from an a-ha moment she had after raising a hand sewn signal flag over her then home in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

    Journey with us as we talk with Maggie about childhood plays performed for an audience of trees, studying with her father, maker and educator Paul Sasso, and even her husband, Ben Jones, crash testing speedboats into logs.

    So pull on your life preserver pants as we meditate on the horizon line and sail through the vast creative ocean of Maggie Sasso!
