Unplugged XX – September 17-18

Unplugged was a fantastic evening.⁠ Read more to hear about our featured speaker Jay Blades and featured performer Amythyst Kiah.

Posted on September 15, 2021

Unplugged was a success Saturday, September 18. Our featured performer, grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Amythyst Kiah offered a rich and intimate musical performance, and Jay Blades, host of The Repair Shop had a moving conversation about the power of craft.⁠ It’s hard to believe it’s been two decades since our first Unplugged, and through this annual celebration of music, craft, and community, we have built a strong foundation for the future of craft. We’ve come a long way as a community since then, but there is still so much joy to be discovered in the work we have ahead.⁠ ⁠
