Episode 046: Jesse Merrill

Cut the Craft - A podcast by Amy Umbel and Brien Beidler - Tuesdays

Categories:

Episode Recorded February 28,  2022. Jesse Merrill is a craft baker and greenwood worker/turner from Ontario Canada. He has his feet in two areas of craft. Running Polestar Hearth Bakery supports his family through the planned obsolescence of bread baking which gives him room to delve heart first into green woodworking and turning. During this conversation we talk about craft vs. industry and where those lines are drawn. We elaborate on how we all manage our perfectionism and how loosening up our grip is something very personal, and how it affects various aspects of creativity. Join us Tuesday for more of this introspective conversation!To find more of Jesse’s work visit his website: www.polestarhearth.comInstagram @sapwood.and.stars, @polestarhearth Help keep the podcast alive!
