(Free Lecture) Woefully Unprepared; Building a Fiber Arts Publishing Company from the Ground Up
About (Free Lecture) Woefully Unprepared; Building a Fiber Arts Publishing Company from the Ground Up
Join Jacey Boggs (founder and director of PLY, WEFT, and PURL magazines) for a candid retrospective on building a career and a publishing company from the ground up, starting with a secondhand spinning wheel and no formal training. This talk traces almost three decades of hands-on learning across spinning, weaving, and knitting, the lessons (and mistakes) that shaped each craft, and the collaborators and mentors who helped turn one magazine into three. A personal look at building an editorial business rooted in curiosity, craftsmanship, and community.
