Cas Holmes – ZOOM Talk – Nomad at Home

Cas invites us to re-examine the world and use the limitations sometimes imposed by geographic area or individual circumstances as a rich resource to develop our ideas for mixed media textiles in a more thoughtful way.  She will speak about her own Romani heritage and how we can use our personal histories and our connection to place as a rich source of inspiration.
