Show Notes

This week, we're joined by special guest Hannah Zbitnew, an interdisciplinary artist creating textiles and ceramics in downtown Toronto. We dive into the seventh chapter of Little Women, "Amy's Valley of Humiliation," where everyone's favourite twelve-year-old stunt queen destroys the social order of her one-room schoolhouse with little more than a couple dozen pickled limes. You can visit Hannah online at hannahzbitnew.com and on Instagram at @hannahzbitnew.
