Summary
Margo is joined by artist, author, and educator Lisa Solomon to discuss her newest book, Art, Craft, Color —a thoughtfully curated collection of essays, reflections, and creative projects designed to inspire a more playful, hands-on approach to making. Lisa's work explores the intersection of art, craft, and personal history, often blending unexpected materials and techniques to challenge traditional boundaries. Alongside her studio practice, she teaches at the college level and has authored several books on color and creativity. In this conversation, Lisa offers a behind-the-scenes look at her process while reflecting on experimentation, perfectionism, and the power of community. Margo and Lisa discuss: The origin story behind Art, Craft, Color and how the project came to life The collaborative process of curating artists, materials, and color palettes Blurring the lines between art and craft, and why that distinction matters less than we think Embracing experimentation and stepping outside your creative comfort zone Letting go of perfectionism and focusing on process over outcome The impact of social media on creativity—both the inspiration and the pressure Why working with your hands is more important than ever in today's world Building community and connection through shared creative practices Connect with Lisa: Website: www.lisasolomon.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/lisasolomon Connect with Margo: www.windowsillchats.com www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill
