"Transforming Thought Through Teaching, Tools & Texture": Audrey Van De Castle (Maker & Artist)

Teacher, maker, artist. Audrey is the kind of person who seeks challenges and always finds a way through, not around, them. She is a person who truly understands the value of experience in perfecting craft and learning the most important lessons. Whether it's teaching classes in the male-dominated makerspace world or creating her own art through metalworking, the impact of hands-on, in-person experiences have always been transformative for her and those who engage with her work. On today's episode, Audrey and I chat everything from the influence of the local Baltimore music scene, welding, medieval hand tools (and torture devices), and the diversity of thought in makerspaces.
