Über diesen Titel

Welcome to the Divergent Doll Maker Podcast, hosted by Jo Hards, the artist behind Spyderthread art dolls.

Jo is best known for the creepy cute, button eyed characters they bring to life on a narrowboat in Wales. As a late discovered autistic human, making dolls helped Jo to recover from a long period of burnout and opened the door to a full time career.

If you’re a new doll maker, or if you’ve ever thought about making dolls either as a hobby, or as a business, this podcast is for you. In each episode, Jo will share some of the things they wish they knew as a fledgling artist. So make sure you subscribe for stories and tips to inspire you to find your own creative spark and make dolls as unique as you are.

So, how do you know when it's time to move on and do something different?
