This week on the Weave podcast, LaChaun speaks with Melvenea Hodges, a fiber artist based in South Bend, Indiana. Melvenea was born and raised in Benton Harbor, Michigan where she began learning about fiber arts through experimenting with hair braiding, beading, and weaving. Today she creates clothing and accessories using traditional techniques such as block printing, sewing, weaving, spinning, knitting, crocheting, and embroidery.
