Positively Creative

Today on Positively Creative, Dorothy chats with Erin Austen Abbott about all of the different creative avenues Erin ventures as a facilitator and curator in the creative community.  Erin shares all about her shop Amelia and the recent shop move from Oxford to Water Valley, Mississippi, where the shop has grown to house a gallery as well as classes and workshops.  Erin discusses her new book, How to Make It, a look into 25 creative entrepreneurs and makers and their creative processes.  They also discuss Erin's writings for Design Sponge, her own photography, and much more! "It's been a real lesson for me on what people want...It's also an education process, educating people why things cost what they cost, why handmade is so important, why we need this kind of movement in our country and world because it's important to know where your items are coming from and to gift things that are more special than something you could pick up at a Black Friday sale."  -Erin Austin Abbott    For more Erin Austen Abbott &
