Description

Welcome back to the Community Agriculture Project podcast!

In season 2 episode 8, we sit down with Tajah Ellis of Out of Seam. Our conversation shows the connection and inspiration of different communities that inspire a weaving of the elements and continued experimentation in the creative process.

We start the episode off with hearing of Tajah’s background, and how that inspired Out of Seam, Tajah’s “empirical color shifting and bio-material exploration.” We then get into Tajah’s work of sourcing and experimenting with natural dyes and algae cultivation.

Here are some follow up resources from today’s episode!
