Interviewing the Audience
Every so often, you’re sitting at a bus stop or browsing at the cheese counter, and you stumble into an interaction. For a moment, you connect with a random person, having a brief conversation you didn’t know was coming. You get a glimpse of a world recombined into something foreign but familiar. Through that chance encounter and surprise conversation, you might find yourself reminded of other ways to live your own life.
Interviewing the Audience illuminates the worlds of the people in the audience that night. Each month, interviewer Leif Olsen leverages their playfulness and curiosity to encourage a few members of the audience to talk about themselves for a while. The remaining audience listens and learns from the gems and insights of people living lives different from their own.
Next time you find yourself out in the world of strangers, you might look for storytellers instead.

Holiday Makers Camp: Drawing, Stickers + Felting with Make Art
Campers will spend three days designing, making, and getting weird with holiday art! Artists will start by designing their own character or ornament and bringing it to life through needle felting. From there, the studio opens up with a menu of holiday projects to explore at their own pace.
Design your own wrapping paper, create sticker sheets, make illustrated gift tags, felt ornaments and tiny characters, design holiday cards, and turn your artwork into gifts for friends and family.
This camp is designed to work for different creative speeds. Some artists may spend hours perfecting one felted creation, while others may build an entire holiday collection. We’ll provide demonstrations, materials, tools, ideas, and support—then give artists room to take their work as far as they want.
Projects may include:
Needle-felted ornaments + characters
Custom holiday sticker sheets
Illustrated gift tags
Design-your-own wrapping paper
Holiday cards + gift toppers
Drawing and character design
Wrapping and packaging your finished creations
