SALVAGE
Conversations with artists who use repurposed materials in their art practice.
SALVAGE is a podcast that celebrates creativity and sustainability through conversations with artists who turn discarded materials into powerful works of art. Each episode dives into their stories, techniques, and the deeper messages behind their work, showing how art can transform waste into beauty and inspire action against overconsumption and wastefulness.
It’s a space for exploring how creativity and mindfulness can help us reimagine our relationship with the planet—one repurposed piece at a time.

Conversation with Judy Villett
Please enjoy my conversation with Judy Villett. Judy’s work combines many techniques, beginning with commercial prints, her own digital photographs printed on fabric, or hand dyed fabrics. She may stencil, paint, embellish, piece, or appliqué these and then finally machine quilt them. Judy says - “The world around us is colorful and filled with texture. I love taking those elements from nature and the patterns of our every-day living and create landscapes in fabric and thread.” We started our conversation talking about Judy’s installation The Jellyfish Project, which utilizes antique doilies from her family stash and more!
