Zak is a community-taught artist whose work draws on Southern textile traditions and repurposed fabrics. He practices an approach to design that is based in narrative and guided by intuition. He is especially drawn to preserving the stories of quilts and explores stories we tell ourselves about the past, present, and future in his work. His work has been featured in on the red carpet of the Met Gala, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as various magazines, websites, and galleries. His book THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR NEXT QUILT and the community he hosts, the QUILTY NOOK, connect and inspire quilters and makers all over the world.http://www.zakfoster.comInsta: zakfoster.quiltsSend us a textExplore more Breaks & Joins podcasts, on the repair of our stuff, ourselves and our communities.
